A petitioner who is unable to obtain primary evidence of citizenship may submit other forms of evidence; however, such a petition should be regarded as “not clearly approvable” and forwarded to the USCIS office with jurisdiction. If you do not have any of the above documents, look at unavailability of documents.

A copy of the front and back of your permanent resident card. If you have not yet received your card, submit copies of your passport biographic page and the page showing admission as a permanent resident or other evidence of permanent resident status issued by USCIS.
