Hi all, I'd like to ask questions if you could all help me please, I would really appreciate it a lot.
I just been admitted back to the U.S. as an SB1 class (I overstayed outside the U.S. for almost 2 years but fortunately I've been granted returning residents visa after some long, grueling application process). Anyway, since I've been back and received the welcome notice up to the present, I have not yet received my new green card. I called the Service Center and was told that I need to file for an I-90 to get my green card back.
My questions are these:
1. What would be my reason for filing I-90 as an SB1 class, i don't think there is any in the choices that qualifies to my situation (e.g. lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated card) except maybe that my new card was never received(??). If that's the case then do I still have to pay the $260.00 fee?
2. Regarding date of admission and destination in the U.S. at time of admission (since I also have a change of adress when I returned), do i need to put the initial date and destination of my admission as immigrant or is it the date and destination when I was admitted as SB1 class?
3. Overstaying then returning with an SB1 visa doesn't qualify as abandonment, does it?
4. Also, do you think I need to attach a letter with the I-90 application explaining my status as SB1?
5. Lastly, where can I mail the application and how long does it usually take to process it?
I really don't know much about these things and would gladly appreciate any reply from you all. Thanks in advance for the help and have a nice day.
