Hi all.. need some answers/sugguestions. So I filed and the app wa recieved 4/2, anyway I also have lost my green card. My question is what should I do? Should I file for a replacement? Wait till the N400 is approved? If I wait and then I have to travel, what can they do to get me documents to re-enter the country?. Thanks is advance.
 
did you explore an option to get a temporary I-551 stamp on your passport?

You can only get that by filing for a replacement.

I'll say file for a replacement in case. There may even be a rule that oath ceremony required you to have a GC.
 
a18Lee did you file I-90 to replace your geencard cause my daughter's greencard got stolen can you please let me know so i could tell her what to do if she just apply for us citizenship and not to apply for greencard (she has aphotocopy of greencard)

In my opininon; first you should report the loss of your greencard to police...
second regardless of what you want to do, you should apply replacement by filing I-90

once your application is readdy for interview, you are required you turn your greencard in; if you had lost,
then you must present the receipts for the replacement if you had not received plastic card;

Therefore, you need to take the matter very seriously. Without greencard and without the proper receipts,
you may have difficulty time or delay in the naturalization process...
 
I agree with faysal. Just because you have your interview coming up, you cannot automatically assume that your application will be granted. Up until the oath, you are still a LPR. This means that you are required to have your GC.
 
Went for the fingerprint and had to ask what I should do without the greencard and she did not know because the policies have recently changed. Anyway while doing my print she got on the phone and called a Immigration Officer at the DO in Philly and the person said I will not have any trouble and to bring the paperwork showing that I indeed paid for and got the card. So I have copies of everything and hopefully I will be ok.
