Hey Guys, my case is quite complicate. Hope it will be useful for others and if you see anything strange, please tell me.

- I got my conditional permanent status on July 16, 2004. Then a month later, I received the actual card and 5 Welcome Notices in mail.

- Jan 27, 2006 I got robbed in Savannah, Georgia. Those bad guys got my good attitude toward life along with the green card and other stuff.

- After I got my temporary passport, I flew back to Thailand from New York, and swore not to come back here again.

- March 2006, my husband reminded me that the U.S. permanent residency is not something you should throw away; he took me to see a lawyer.

- March 31, 2006 I filed Form I-90 to get the replacement of my stolen card. Actually I didn’t have to file this form since my green card is expiring. But the lawyer suggested that it was a good insurance, just to make sure that I will be able to enter the U.S. without the actual green card. Beside, I was supposed to file I-90 right after I got robbed in January instead of waiting this long.

- May 1, 2006 was the date NSC had received my I-751 application. About 3 weeks later, my lawyer got I-797C Notice of Action, given receipt date and number. I never got any notice from NSC, and the number they gave in the receipt to my lawyer never work either. It says, “The status for this receipt number can not be found…”

- May 14, 2006 I-797 of I-90 arrived at my address in the U.S., given the receipt date and number.

- June 24, 2006 I flew in the U.S. via Portland, Oregon. I entered with Re-Entry Permit along with police report, NOA of I-90, and a copy of my stolen green card: no problem. (I applied for the Re-Entry Permit before leaving the U.S. in October 2005 which I thought I would be outside the U.S. more than 1 year)

- July 17, 2006 one day after my conditional greencard expired, I got an Info pass to USCIS Seattle office, got I-551 stamp in my passport, and told them that I have moved to Seattle from North Platte, Nebraska. I also sent out AR-11 and called National Customer (heartless) Service Line to change my address. (Now they require you to call in to change your address, I spent over 2 hours on the phone, just hated it)

- July 25, 2006 I got Appointment Notice from NSC for Biometric Test at Omaha, NE, ASC for my I-90 application.

- July 26, 2006 I sent out letter to Seattle USCIS office asking for the appointment of Biometric Test in Seattle instead of Omaha. They sent me Appointment Notice for the appointment date; Oct 30, 2006.

- July 30, 2006 I got Welcome Notice, stated the same receipt number as the Welcome Notice when I first got my conditional green card: saying that my application for permanent resident is being processed. If approved, a permanent resident card will be mailed directly to me. It also said that the case type was I181 Creation of Record of Lawful Permanent Residence. What the heck?

- After waiting anxiously for months, today I got my 10 years green card in mail along with Receipt Number which is different from the one in the NOA that my lawyer got. I used the new receipt number to check the case status online. The result is;

Application Type: CRI89, CONDITIONAL RESIDENCE I-89 CARD RECEIVED AT SERVICE CENTER

Current Status:

On October 10, 2006, the document we made based on the approval or registration of this case was mailed directly to the person to whom issued.

- The processing date for I-751 of NSC as of Oct 12, 2006 is April 11, 2006. Again, what the heck? (my case was received on May 1, 2006)

I know I am suppose to be glad to get the 10 years greencard, but from the case status above, it is so confusing. I talked to my friend and did some research online. It seems like everyone who files I-751 will get the second notice as CRI89. Well, that’s fine. But strange thing will be some people got an appointment for biometric test for I-751 application too. Will I have to do that? Or is this green card in hand already the answer (which means no more harassment)?

Anyway, I already wrote an e-mail to my lawyer who didn’t seem to care about me since I left Bangkok. If he says something I will update with you guys.

Umm… What about my I-90 Biometric Test on Oct 30, 2006? Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to go in. I just hope that they will not take the card back from me.

Any questions or ideas?

Thanks Aussielad. My lawyer has sent e-mail to NSC asking for more information. I will update the issue later. I hope this condition removal is finished. I'm really tired of dealing with the USCIS. Yes, 9 more months to go, for the Naturalization, and then it will be no more hassle.

June Kinney and others who might know,

I have a similar situation at the moment, my purse just got stolen with my conditional green card (expiring in 3 months) in it. I just mailed the I-751 (removal of conditional) a couple of days after the card got stolen.

Do you think I should file the I-90 or just let the I-751 go through first?

Thanks a lot!
