    I'm starting a thread for folks who have filed an I-90 for a replacement green card which is processed at the Potomac Service Center. Please post up here if you are waiting for a replacement card and the date you filed so we can track the progress of I-90s being processed. 

     

    Our story - My wife's green card was mailed to us in early January and arrived at our local post office a few days later. Unfortunately we did not receive a tracking notice after the card was sent through Priority Mail so we had no way to know that it had arrived. Our mail was being held at the local post office around the time the card arrived due to theft from the central mail box at our development. My suspicion is that a postal employee saw that mail for our address was being held at the post office so they used the opportunity to steal my wife's green card. By the time I got the tracking notice a month later, it showed that a delivery attempt was made but the "business was closed" so the envelope was returned to the local post office. Obviously my residence is not a business but it made the post office records show that a delivery attempt had been made. By this time my wife's green card was long gone. I suspect it fetched a pretty penny because inauguration day was approaching and we all know how the Obama replacement feels about immigrants. Unfortunately the post office took no responsibility for the theft of our card due to obvious reasons. 

     

    USCIS policy is that a lost card regardless of how it was lost requires an I-90 be filed, a new fee paid and a new biometrics taken. The only exceptions to not paying the fee is if the information on the card due to USCIS error is wrong or if the card was actually returned to USCIS. 

     

    Currently the processing time for I-90s shows that they are processing applications submitted back in August of 2016. In May the USCIS rolled out a new green card design which may have played into the delay but it would seem they should be catching up on processing applications. 

     

    We filed online and paid our fee back on March 2, 2017. My wife attended a biometrics a few weeks later on March 21. We attended an INFOPASS appointment in May and the officer told us that it is taking up to a year to receive replacement cards. So that my wife could prove permanent residency, the officer put a stamp in her passport which shows permanent residence and that an I-90 has been filed. 

     

    Best wishes to those who wait with us for their replacement green cards. 

     

     

     

    Hi! 

    Thanks for start this thread! Something similar happened to me, never got my GC and they told me it was delivered and stolen. On July 31st filled the I-90 and on August 5 got my appointment for biometrics for August 22nd. 

    Hopping that don't take too much time for the new GC...

    My spouse was able to travel Canada by land without any issues. :dancing:

    @eljourney So your spouse traveled to Canada by car with his passport and the i-551 stamp and entered without problems!?!?!?
    Please confirm me because I'm in the same situation, don't have my GC yet and have to travel to Canada by car next month. If you can give me any advice I'll be pleasure.

    Hi everyone, my question is for those who have completed the visa process here in the dominican republic.. I know that every case is different but I would like to know around  how much money you guys had to pay for your medical? I already went to the Web sites and saw the basic $275 and what every vacine cost... my wife has all her vacine but I read some where that they give some vacinations even if u already had them just to make some extra money so I just want to know realistically around how much am I looking at thanks for your comments 

    Hi Rich.

     

    I did my exam and vacinations in november 2016 and paid 275 for exam and 120 for all the vacinations in Consultorio de Visas. There are two places were your wife can do it, Consultorio de Visas (AKA Consultorio Viejo, http://www.consultoriosdevisa.com/requisitos-tarifas/) in avenida Independencia and Servicios Medicos Consulares (AKA Consultorio Nuevo, http://www.smc.net.do/) in calle Bohechio next to avenida Romulo Bethancourt, in Servicios Medicos Consulares they are more flexible about the vacinations, if your wife have all the vacinations and have her record they evaluate and discount it, in the other they arent so flexible but i had heard that they make discount too but not much like the other.

  4. Hi everyone.

    I got some news today... The nvc rep said that they finished scheduling for November. That means that I will get my interview date after 6 months of waiting.... Unless I get even more unlucky.

    Thanks for the news, I was hoping that they would schedule more interviews for November but December will be! Hope you get your interview in december!
