Hi All-
Friend of mine left India after his green card was approved three weeks ago due to emergency reasons. Now he is asking me to FedEx his original green card. I am wondering if it is legal to mail green card outside of US.

If anyof you have any knowledge please advise me.

its unconstitutional to be mailing the GC, thats a crime that can be given capital punishment, old sparky is waiting for u.

chill dude, just mail that GC. what do u really fear, the FBI to track you down as a sender ? and throw you across the border ?
some people just worry too much
 
The US embassy in Tokyo says this:

If you left your green card in the U.S., try to arrange for someone to send it to you overseas.

Your friend's GC was approved recently, so he can use the Advance Parole to return to the US (assuming it is unexpired and was applied for and approved before he left the US). No need to send the GC. Upon entering with the AP, they will realize his GC got approved and will process him for entry accordingly. If you don't believe me, he can contact the consulate there, explaining that he learned his physical GC arrived after he left the US, and they will confirm that the AP can still be used.
 
My GC was approved while I was abroad, and it was sent to me via registered post. But if you can use your AP, why not.
 
We had our GreenCard Fedexed to us abroad as well. No issues. Just make sure you are using some reliable service like Fedex or DHL. USPS I think used used Indian Post at the other end - which is not bad as such, but could be a bit unreliable. Also with Fedex, sometimes they do not deliver in certain smaller towns, so make sure of these details.
