They'll stamp an I-94 if you don't have a valid passport. What I'm not sure about is whether they'd require you to have an I-90 receipt to get the stamp since technically your card is "lost" (though that was USCIS's fault for sending it to the wrong address).

Oh I see.. what exactly is the I-94? is it related directly to applying for I-90?

I emailed them again yesterday to tell them the letter wouldn't arrive on time. I expressed my frustration at the tight deadline they provided. This morning I got a stock message thanking me for returning my card. I emailed back asking them to ask California to produce my new card since they've had it for over a month now. They wrote back to me literally ten seconds later with another stock message but this time bolded and underlined a sentence telling me to be patient. Seriously? This is their mistake, not mine. They're acting like I'm sending my card to them and refusing to acknowledge that California has it. Are they stupid? 

 

Sorry but I'm so frustrated at this point. 

Sorry to hear about your situation Ketsuban..

I haven't checked VJ for a while since USCIS sent my GC to my previous address..

I basically gave up on the GC at this point..

My concern though is that my passport expires in March 2019 and without having GC I wonder what would be my residency status.. I asked my lawyer she wasn't very clear about my situation and simply said we're filing N400 for naturalization and you should be fine. Does this sound right to you? I'm worried I don't want to be here without having some residency card.. And also I asked about extension stamp on passport, they said they'll extend it to the date my passport expires so that won't help.. I already have an extension stamp on my passport which ends on Sept 2nd.. So Idk how to resolve this problem.. My lawyer suggested to renew my passport, however there's only one Syrian embassy that could issue new passport and that is in Rio , Brazil.. So I can't get visa to there anyway.. So that won't work either.. I'm so frustrated.. :///

Ugh, how frustrating. Sorry you're having to deal with this, after everything we've already gone through! 

 

I have no idea... But I would say that it can't hurt to place a detailed Service Request with USCIS. Document EVERYTHING. They messed up mailing it to the wrong address... That's not on you. They should in my opinion, fix this at no cost to you. You didn't lose it, or provide wrong information... This is a USCIS screw up. Hopefully they will see that with all of your evidence, and process a new GC with no fee and expedited. Hope so anyway! 

Yea, will include everything in the service request..

I've been feeling so down since last week.. dealing with this situation is so depressing and frustrating..

Definitely get that in writing and send to USCIS with an I-90 filed under USCIS error. AND request an expedite. 

So after following up with the other apartment manager, she told me that the apartment that my mail was sent to was empty till last week. So 2 weeks ago she basically cleaned the mail box and trashed the junk mail and returned the mails that were not junk to the senders. So my mail was among those that she sent to sender.

I checked with the USPS about my mail if it is in transit for return, they said that there isn't any scan of the mail for return. And after talking to another post office employee for 20 minutes explaining how sensitive this case is, he told me that sometimes the USPS employee doesnt scan the mail when returning it to the sender. So basically they said it might be in transit to USCIS. I just got a reply from USCIS three days ago that they have sent my green card in the mail on Feb 15th and was delivered on Feb 20th. So my question is: Could it be possible that when submitting an inquiry to USCIS about "Green Card not received in the mail" that they don't check if they have it under "Return mail box"??

Should I submit another inquiry about this and ask USCIS to check if they have my mail in their return mail box?? Is this an option for inquiry??

Good luck!

they mailed it to a different address in the same city.. How did the uscis put a completely different address on my file?? what the heck..

So the post office gave me the address that they delivered it to and I actually went to that address (which is half a mile from my place) and left a note with my number to contact me if they got my mail two months ago..

Hopefully they didnt trash my mail..

I also emailed that apartment management about my situation..

we'll see what comes out of this!

My mailman put my new iphone into my neighbour's mailbox once and I chased him down to get it back out. They're a bit careless sometimes. Are you able to talk to your neighbours to see if they have it?

Oh God.. so the building where i'm staying at is two buildings. Building 181 and Building 183 and they are next to each other. I just went to the other building apartment same number of my apartment and asked if they had any mail under my name back in February and the lady said she hasn't.. so.. I dont know.. it must have not made it to either buildings..

But maybe going to the local post office and checking with them might be helpful.

I wonder if USCIS put the street address on there at all, or if they messed up? I don't know if that makes any difference for them liability wise? 

 

I would go to your local post office, and ask them to investigate - Hopefully they have it. If not, I would get a report of their findings, and contact USCIS again before filling and paying a fee.

Yea, I'll check with the local post office and see if they can offer any help.

Thanks

I don't remember the thread but I remember someone got USCIS to send another one for free. I think they filed a missing mail piece report with the postmaster general, possibly got their local representative or senator involved. Do some googling, don't shell out that money just yet.

Yea, will check with the attorney and see what we can do about this..

Thanks for the info!

It's so frustrating that the approval letter made it to the mail box on Feb 15th. But the GC didnt make it.. :/

13 minutes ago, Scazy said:

. Have you changed address during ROC at all? What does tracking number says? 

Nope, still in the same place since I moved to the states!

And the tracking number shows the City name and the Zip Code which both are correct!

But it doesn't show the Street address and the apartment number.. Of course.. What a joke..

Just woke up to see this stupid email update from USCIS about my mysteriously not delivered GC!

=======================================================================================================================

Type of service requested:
 -- Non-Delivery of Permanent Resident Card

The status of this service request is:

On April 16, 2018, your legal representative notified USCIS that you have not received the Permanent Resident Card that our records show was sent. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue can be resolved.

On February 15, 2018, we sent your Permanent Resident Card to the address we have on file. The tracking information below indicates your card was delivered February 20, 2018.

USPS Tracking Information: ###################

USCIS does not accept liability for secure documents, including Permanent Resident Cards, upon receipt by the U.S Postal Service. Replacement of a card lost, stolen, or otherwise misplaced during transit requires the submission of a newly-completed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, and applicable fee(s).

=======================================================================================================================

Just great..

I do not think so. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that if you do not get your green card, you are not responsible to pay the $500 to get another one. What would be the point that USCIS writes you in your approval letter to contact them if you do not receive your green card in the time that they tell you  in it(60 days). I would expect that USCIS takes the steps to provide you another green card if it were needed by the circumstances. 

 

 

Yea, I did contact them and hopefully will hear back at some point.. Fingers crossed!

8 minutes ago, BFP XX said:

I've no idea how they would classify that. I would like to think that if you never received the card in the mail, that they can track that, and the burden would be on them, not you... But I honestly don't know. You should definitely speak with USCIS as soon as you can to get clarification 👍

I see..

Well, I tried calling the USCIS number but never got a hold of any person.. All I managed to do is to turn in an online inquiry.. Hopefully that will do the magic!

Thanks for your response!

Yeah. That's true. I have 2 accounts. 1 of Uscis account it says I will get the GC around 30 days, and the second account of DHS it says I will get the GC around 120days...speechless...

oh I did not know that there is DHS account.. is it useful?

WHat's the link for creating an account for that?

2 minutes ago, Huckyfinn said:

Thank you for your replying.

The first my update as your updated like " New Card is being produced...and i will get the GC around 120days" but 2 more days after that they changed to " We approved your case and mail it to me..." I have been waiting for the approval notice in my mail. I hope you will get your GC soon.

Oh it's weird that in some cases it says 120 days period and in some other cases 60 days.. so confusing..

#USCISmake up your mind! LOL

I completely agree... Returned card with error is free, a lost card is $500+ to replace. No thank you! Hopefully this will be something they can reprocess ASAP 👍

Quick question!

Is "green card not received in the mail" considered "lost"? :/ I hope not.. I dont wanna pay $500 to have it mailed again.. :/

On 4/22/2018 at 2:59 PM, dashuto4ka said:

Hi everyone! Seems like most of you who got approved already received green card. I was approved on March 5 and still didn't receive it, my case status is stuck at "we are producing your card"... Wondering if someone in the same situation.

The approval letter states to allow 60 day period for the Green Card to get to the mail but I think you could consider submitting an inquiry!

To submit the inquiry you're gonna need to create a USCIS account at this link: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/users/sign_up?session_id=6b5ff6b0-ffab-46d3-848e-d583b52988ae

and submit an inquiry: "still did not receive the Green Card in the mail"

Cheers!

Hi Darnit.

Thank you for your feedback. I checked on my uscis account they said they ordered the GC and will mail it to me around 1 month, but 2 more days after that they updated in my account and said that they approved my case and mailed the note to me for more information...sigh...Did you get the approval note before they said they mailed the GC to you?

I wish you will get the GC soon.

Oh whao! hmm I have a question: Let me tell you my situation in details:

So on February 12th, I got this update:

New Card Is Being Produced

On February 12, 2018, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number WAC1624550932, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

=========================================================================================================================

Then on February 15th, I got the approval letter in the mail. (I thought oh this is a good sign! this means my green card is gonna be in the mail soon!)

After 65 days, the Green Card still didn't make it to my mail box..

So on April 17th, I submitted an inquiry that I still did not receive my green card in the mail. and after submitting the inquiry, saw that there is a note saying to expect a response by May 8th..

So up till now, no new updates on the situation.. :/

My question is: Did you go through the same situation as my case?

I'm glad you got updates on your case!

this has been such a painful experience.. lol

On 4/23/2018 at 1:12 PM, Huckyfinn said:

Hi Darnit. Did you get your GC yet?

Hi Huckyfinn,

Unfortunately not yet.. sigh :/

I've been checking everyday on my uscis account..

When I submitted my inquiry, it said to expect a response by May 8th!

So I'm hoping to hear back from them by then..

I'll post any updates on my situation as soon as I hear back from them!

Cheers and good luck to all of us

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that I filled for inquiry today and I got email that I should expect reply by May 9, 2018. The inquiry date in the website is 9/26/2016 but I figured that by the time someone respond the date would be 9/30/2016 which is my NOA date. I’m pretty sure they would change it to 9/30/2016 by Friday. I’m so tired waiting at this point 😞😔

Did you also not receive the GC in the mail yet?

my case was approved on Feb 12th and still have not received the GC in the mail.. :/

It's so frustrating..

I also submitted an inquiry yesterday and got an email saying to expect a reply by May 8th.. so fingers crossed!

That is a long time ago. Did you check the status of your application on https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/?

 

Oh I just created an account and logged in and saw this notice:

February 15, 2018

We mailed your card to you. The U.S. Postal Service will deliver it.

You do not need to do anything at this time

The post office will deliver your card to your current mailing address. If your mailing address changes, update your address with us.

If you do not receive your card by March 17, 2018, send us a case inquiry and select that you did not receive your card by mail.

==============================================================================

So I just submitted a case inquiry and got an email saying to expect a response by May 8th!

I'm so confused about how long can postal service take.. this's so weird..

I want to thank you so much for telling me about creating a uscis account!

At least one can see the updates

Hi everyone,

My case (Removing conditions on GC) was approved back on Feb 12th, and still haven't received the GC in the mail.. was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same situation! is it worth submitting an inquiry?? I feel like it won't make a difference but wanted to check with you guys!

Thanks
