Green Card Mailed But Not Received
Well, I was informed by USCIS through a letter that my Green Card was mailed late December of last year, but, I NEVER received it. After waiting 3 months for their reply, I finally got it, but not the reply that I expected. It was very disappointing. I thought that this Immigration process is already going smoothly after the big challenge we had to go through last year—I am totally wrong.
Green Card Story
After my interview last December, I was approved. Few days later, got a mail from the USCIS telling me that they have ordered production of my so-awaited-Green Card. At the same time, I checked my case number on their website, the same status—production of card has been ordered.
More than a month had passed, no Green Card. Called the USCIS toll free number 1-800-375-5283 to inquire about it. I was advised to send Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card) and marked the option "card not received." Did what I was being told and mailed the form on February. Got a reply from them after a week or so. The letter stated to just wait for another communication from them regarding my request.
Waiting felt endless. One month, two months had passed—nothing. Until yesterday my husband came home with the letter on his hand. I was so excited to see it and exclaimed with so much enthusiasm, "Finally!" But my husband's reaction was telling me that it's not something that I had been expecting.
The letter said that they mailed my Green Card on December. My application for I-90 was denied because of the fact that the card was sent, and it was not returned as "undeliverable" to their Nebraska Service Center office. Whoaaaaa!!! I was advised to file another I-90 using the "appropriate application reasons." What is so disappointing is that, filing another I-90 costs $370! It's terrible to pay something that you are not at fault with. I never received my Green Card, and now, paying $370 sucks.
We decided to get a schedule for appointment in our local USCIS office through INFOPASS come June to try resolving the problem without paying again. I do not know where my Green Card went. What if it's with someone else's hand? I'm in the verge of becoming an identity theft victim. I also don't understand why USCIS just mailed Green Cards through regular mails and not registered, when in fact it's a very important legal document. So terrible.
Well, it is my BIG hope that this problem be resolved accordingly. Please, don't let us pay $370 for something that's not our fault.
