Green Card lost before Biometrics

[deepakanand]

My biometrics is scheduled but I lost my green card. Do I need to have it with me for biometrics as well? I do have copy of green card as well as police report.

I don't recall them checking my Green Card. All I needed was:

- Your ASC appointment notice (Form I-797C), and
- Valid photo identification (such as your Green Card, passport, or driver’s license)

I happened to use my state driver's licence both for entry (through security) and at the Biometrics desk. I did whip out my Green Card because I needed to know my A# and they took the appointment letter (which has your A# on it) when handing me a form to fill out. But aside from getting my A# from my Green Card, I didn't use it at all at the Biometrics.

I'd check your Biometrics appointment letter as the final authority but USCIS's website hints that perhaps you can "get away" without your Green Card at the Biometrics (although obviously it will be needed for the interview and oath, no avoiding that):

Not necessary

you can take this stuff if it helps you sleep at night, but you dont need it. The only thing you need is your licence, or any form of valid i.d. My mother went to get her biometrics when going from green card to citizenship and her licence was all she needed.

Thanks for confirming it

One more question, for interview, will receipt number for new/replacement green card work or do I need to reschedule interview unless I get new card in hand (which may be 6-8 months down the road)?

I-90 receipt is good enough

Hi deepak, so How did your biometrics go? I am in a same predicament where i lost my gc before the biometrics appointment. Do they require gc at the biometrics appointment or not?

Any updates?

Please share updates about your case.

Just bring your valid, unexpired government issued photo identification (eg drivers license or passport)

Not sure why others don't require Green Card... on my notification (i-797C) for Biometrics appointment, it specifically noted to (1) bring that notice (2) Naturalization applicants must bring their Alien Resident Card. All other applicants must bring a passport, driver's license....

So since you are naturalizing, YOU NEED YOUR GREEN CARD. At least my notification says I do...(this was recent too)
