I would also recommend that once he has received his new passport and if he is still waiting for the new card, to go to the ACS to get his passport stamped.

In the meantime, I would avoid any international travel has his entry into the US might be delayed at the port of entry.

Good luck to him.

Well, you can't apply for a naturalization without a valid green card so the first step is to get one.

So, he should first apply to get a new and valid card.

He might have to pay a fine for letting the old card expire and not renewing it, i am not sure as I am not a lawyer. Legally, you are under the obligation to always carry with you a valid card. If they refuse renewing the card I would consult with a lawyer ASAP, because at this stage I am not sure your brother should even be in the US.

Also he should get a valid passport from his country of origin.

Second, I would file a new N400 with all the documentation and one of the questions is : have you ever applied for citizenship? he should answer yes and provide an explanation with what exactly happened. Then he waits for the USCIS answer. He has a problem he should consult with a lawyer. In any case he should never lie to an immigration inspector.

Postpone the baby shower. Let's be serious here.

Hi,

I sent my N-400 on April 20 2009.

I received my GC yesterday! That was fast. Expiration date: Nov 25 2018.

Thanks for the help and support. Good luck to the ones still waiting.

Nice email in my mail box today:

Current Status: Card production ordered from the VSC.

I am overjoyed. En route for the citizenship now.

So here is my timeline: I 751 : January 31, 2008,

NOA February 14 2008

Biometrics: March 13 2008

and card production ordered : November 25 2008.

Yeah!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Good luck to all of you who are still waiting. En route to the N-400 now.

Thanks

GC ordered this morning!!!!! YEAH.

Please add my information : I 751 : January 31 2008, NOA February 14 2008, Biometrics at the Charlotte NC field office on March 13 2008 and GC ordered on November 25 2005.

I am a transfer from the TSC.

YEAHHHHHH!!!!

I was just in the same situation. I did an infopass for "additional information" and they stamped my passport allowing international travel. So no need to cancell your trip.

Take care

Got the stamp. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Good experience. Thanks for the tips

I don't have the green card anymore so that's why I need the stamp.

I talked to the person at the 1800 number and this is what she told me to do: bring my passport, the NOA and two pictures and I should be good to go.

I finally got an appointment (Next Monday) by logging in at 6:00am this morning on the website.

Yeah.

Thanks everybody. Will do. I am trying to get an infopass to our brand new field office in Raleigh NC instead of having to drive all the way to Charlotte NC. No appointments are available so I will try everyday.

Thanks

Thanks will do and let you know the outcome.

Hi,

My stolen expired green card has been stolen and I only have left my passport and the NOA.

My case is pending at the VTC but I will soon need to take a trip outside the USA.

I thought about applying for a replacement card but It seems strange to apply for a replacement of an expired card.

I am thinking going to my nearest field office but I don't know if they will be able to help me?

What do you think?

Thank you

JG
