What should I do if I lose my American green card?

The American permanent resident card, also known as the green card, is an identity document used to prove that foreigners have the status of permanent residents in the United States. What should I do if my customer loses his American green card? Holders of American green cards must maintain permanent resident status, and if they no longer meet certain conditions required by their status, they may lose their status.

(1) The green card was lost in the United States.

1, call the police: the lost green card is filed at the police station to prevent criminals from using the lost green card to commit crimes.

2. Reissue a green card at the immigration office: To reissue a green card, you need to download and fill in the I-90 form at the US Immigration Office in official website. I-90 form is a form for checking basic information, such as name, lost green card, birth, address, identity characteristics, etc. Submitting a copy of the green card to the Immigration Bureau can speed up the immigration bureau to reissue the green card, so it is best to save a copy of the green card or a scanned green card first. Materials to be submitted for replacing green card: I-90 form, copy of green card, copy of passport and two photos. 3. Obtain the case receipt number of the Immigration Bureau about one month after the materials are submitted: After receiving the receipt notification notice from I797, you can check the processing progress online at any time.

4. Fingerprints: About two months after the materials are submitted, the Immigration Bureau will ask the applicant for fingerprints. After fingerprint identification, the Immigration Bureau will conduct a background check on the applicant.

5. Get a new green card: It takes about eight months to get a new green card now.

The applicant had better not leave the country while applying for a new green card, because there is no document to prove that he is a valid green card holder when he returns. /zd/xx
