Guardianships & Green Cards

[oxfordmovement]

DISCLAIMER: I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I'm a total newbie to this and searching the forums and checking the FAQ (which is down) hasn't helped.

I currently work for a hospital and one of our patients lost his green card. Due to government regulations protecting patient privacy I can't divulge too much, but hopefully you seasoned veterans of the immigration came can shed some insight into all this. I have been tasked to do research on how a court appointed guardian could replace this gentleman's green card. Is this even possible? Are guardians able to file a green card replacement form? I'm also having a devil of a time finding a live agent to speak to about this.

Any help would be extremely welcome.

If the patient is mentally and physically capable of reviewing and signing the green card replacement form (I-90) after somebody else fills it out, a guardian or almost anybody else can assist them with it and then mail it in.

But the patient would still have to show up in an immigration office with ID (preferably a valid passport) to be photographed and fingerprinted for the new green card.
