Losing your Green Card can be a stressful experience, but it's important to remember that the card itself is simply a piece of evidence of your status as a lawful permanent resident of the United States. As explained by Marshall Cohen from Antonini and Cohen Immigration Law Group, even if you lose your Green Card, your status remains unaffected; you are still a lawful permanent resident. However, you will need to take steps to replace it.
Steps to Replace Your Green Card
The first step is to visit the USCIS website and file an application to replace your Green Card. Once you have filed this application, you will receive a receipt. The next step is to make an InfoPass appointment with USCIS and present yourself in person with your passport. During this appointment, you will receive a stamp in your passport stating that you are a lawful permanent resident. This stamp is crucial, as it will allow you to obtain a driver’s license in most states.
