I-90 - no receipt yet

I got my green card in August and it had my first name misspelt . So I returned it and filed an I-90D . My lawyer said I need to wait for the receipt from USCIS and then I can get my passport stamped for travel. I have a trip to India coming up in early January and a month after sending out the I-90 D with my green card, I have not received a receipt from USCIS.

Will it be possible for me to get my passport stamped? How do I go about it?
Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

----------- for I-90 filing reciept they are taking time(I dont know the reason)
Will it be possible for me to get my passport stamped?
---------------- take the infopass and try.You can also submit affidavit that you have filed form I-90 for correction of name on your card and you sent the permanent resident card with form I-90 on date.. to service center… on date….
How do I go about it?

receipt

Hi,
This is from my experience. From what the 800 number people and the local office says, we do not get a receipt for I-90 filed with option 'D'. We can either wait for them to send in the card (or a fingerprint notice) which can take as much as 6 months, or go to the local office and show them all the documents, and hopefully somebody will stamp the passport. The stamping of the passport is very idiosyncratic in my experience. I was refused twice and then the third time they did stamp it but for a limited duration (3months in my case), and only after pleading with them that I needed to go out of the country on an emergency. They did say they would certainly have stamped it if I had a letter from my employer stating that I had to go out of the country for job related purposes.

hope this helps.

the usual disclaimers apply. I am not a lawyer.
 
My experience:

Went to local office with Infopass BEFORE sending I-90. Told them I had to leave the country. They didn't ask for anything, just checked my status on computer and stamped my passport for 1 year. I photocopied my I-90 with supporting documents (category D by the way) and sent it the next day. Received a letter/receipt 3 weeks later. No card yet (two months have passed).
Each local office will make their own decision as to how to proceed, it's worth a visit. If you've already sent your I-90 I do hope you've made a copy, then you can show that instead of a receipt.

Good luck

Lost my GC on Nov 12, e-filed I-90 on the same day. Obtained an MSC number. Took an infopass appointment for the Newark office for Nov 15th. Showed the window clerk my tickets and copy of I-90 and pleaded for a stamping. She cold-heartedly dismissed me. I told her that it was an emergency but she needed proof. I am going back again with faxed-in copies of "proof".

Could I have done anything better? Have I missed something (other than walking in without any proof)?
 
you need...

I went through the same thing with the newark office.

You need

Your I90 reciept...I don't know how you can get one if you filed D...
and proof of emergency..my proof of emergency was mailed so it was the original doctor's note about my father's medical situation. they stamped my passport for only a month...I was so exhausted with this process and so was my father...getting a doctor's note was not easy...If you get that faxed that I don't know..but they only issue stamps out if it was a case of emergency..emergency is bieng health-related...or as far as work..I don't know...but my personal experience is that..I even tried the district office in New York city and they refused to see me because like she said I should go to the district office that has jurisdiction over where I live..and that's New Jersey...I advise you to wait for the greencard..because even if they stamp your passport it is going to be for a short amount of time.

Thanks!

I went in last week to the San Jose local office with my copy of the I-90 D (no receipt) and the officer refused to stamp my passport for more than 30 days. She said she could do longer if I had a receipt though!

I am frustrated because I am a legal permanent resident and even while my I-485 was pending I could travel as I pleased on advance parole!
I am waiting for some legal advice on this.

I am traveling to India for 6 weeks in mid January and a 30 day stamp won't just do. So I am going to try again soon

Lost GC

Hi,
I have lost my GC card yday. I applied I-90 thru online and got receipt. Now I got to travel overseas in 2 weeks.

Do you suggest infopass appointment next week in SFO? Will they stamp from my travel date for 30-days. Anyone experienced in SFO recently. Please share. I will highly appreciate your input.

I have ticket, Passport and copy of GC. What else we need.

TIA.

------------take infopass ASAP , go with Online I-90 filing reciept
Will they stamp from my travel date for 30-days.
------------ nobody can give you correct answer it depends on local USCIS office. if they just stamp for 30 days talk to supervisor and inform that getting GC after filing is taking more than 6 months. and write letter to USCIS Ombudsman. they should have some memo or guidelines in this situation

Another update

I had registered with USCIS case status online updates and I received the following update just an hour ago:

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On December 21, 2006, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service.


----------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure what to think - that my I-90 has been processed and approved with the same case # as my original I-485?

Even if that is the case it looks like the card won't arrive in time for my trip? Will this update from USCIS be helpful in getting my passport stamped?
 
I received my corrected green card in the mail on Dec 30th (I received another email notification on the 28th that it was mailed out).

So it looks like USCIS did process my I-90D in about 60 days.
