    Hi, 

     

    My aunt filed for renewal 3/8/2016. Did Biometrics later that month. Potomac Service Center says processing August 10, 2016 as of May 31 2017.

    Wow are you saying you still have not gotten it almost year and a half later?

    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. 

     

     

     

    Wife filed I-90 in August 2016 after purse was stolen. Still nothing..almost 1 year. Can't get the stamp because passport is expired.
