Was your green card a conditional green card (with a 2 year expiration date)? If so, you will have to start all over again and have your new spouse apply for you. If so, I highly suggest that you hire an immigration attorney (NOT AN "IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT"!), as you will have a very difficult time explaining why your first marriage didn't last long enough for you to get your green card.\n\nIf it was a permanent green card (with a 10 year expiration date), you have not lost your residence status. You simply file a Form I-90, which has a $260 filing fee.\n\nYou can download the form at the URL listed below. You mail it to:\n\nU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services\nP.O. Box 54870\nLos Angeles, CA 90054-0870\n\nThey will send you a letter telling you to go to have your "biometrics" (fingerprints) taken at an Application Support Center. Sometime after that happens, you will receive your new card in the mail. Make sure you take your old card with you when you go to the ACS for the fingerprints.

I know that the submission for the lifting of conditions should be submitted al least  90 days before the expiration date of the conditional period. You file within the allowed 90 day window so that you comply with law and preserve your PR status. Filiing at the earliest moment helps you do this, and allows enough time for the Notice  to get to the office. The expired Green Card are their only evidence of status. I should know this because I am in this process too. I think as long the documents you filed were in order, it wouldn't be a problem. I do a lot of research when it come to this because I want to be prepared and not rushing and yes to comply to the laws.\n\nWhen your two-year green card expires you no longer have status as a permanent resident, you are not authorized to work, and technically, you are deportable. You must allow yourself and the USCIS (INS) the maximum amount of time to get the petition approved

You don't need to wait until you are approved for your green cdard to obtain your SScard.  You may receive it after you have obtained employment authorization by filing an I-765 form with a pending I-485 if your status is currently available.\n\nIt is desirable to personally appear at the SS office rather than mailing.\n\nI'm an immigration attorney, and this is old hat.

My husband's green card was not green. It was an ivory color with wavy colored lines going through it. But it's been a while since I've seen it and I can't look at it to verify, because they made him turn it in when he got his citizenship.

Permanent green cards are valid for 10 years and they expire and you need to renew. It doesn't mean you can't stay, it just means they want to update photo, address etc. Exactly like a drivers lisense

Form I-9(Rev 05-31-05) from the US Dept of Labor Handbook for Employers (M-0274), page 3 states that the acceptable forms of ID for proof of right to work inthe US are:  US passport, Certificate of Citizenship (N-560), Cert. of Naturalization, Permanent Resident Card,, etc OR  Drivers License AND SS card or Drivers License (or other form of government issued ID ALONG WITH an original or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by a state or county municipal authority and bearing an official seal. (This means you can't use the one from the hospital with your footprints on it....)  Hope this helps.

I seriously JUST got off the phone with the immigration people and was asking them a bunch of questions about this. If you applied for permanent residency, you probably used the "Adjustment package" which contains several forms. One of them is the I 131 which is a travel document. If you didn't use the whole package and just sent the Perm Res thing, you need to send in the I 131 form and wait for it to be approved. Once it's approved, you can come and go as you please while the Perm Res is pending.

USCIS website has an online case status link. You will need the receipt # of the petition filed to be able to gain access.

If you are not an American citizen, you need a "Green Card," which is a work permit issued by the Federal Government.\n\nI think that you can work here without a Green Card if you have certain types of visas.  Check with the consulate or embassy in your country.\n\nA United States Permanent Resident Card, also known popularly as Green Card, is an identification card for a permanent resident of the United States of America who does not have U.S. citizenship. It is proof that the holder has permission to permanently reside and take employment in the U.S. Its "former" official title was Alien Registration Receipt Card, and it is now officially called a Permanent Resident Card, also referred to as form I-551.\n\nThe name "green card" comes from the fact that the cards were originally green. Their color has changed over the years, but the term "green card" has remained in use. As of 2005, the card is mostly white and the only prominent green feature is the lettering on the back of the card. A card includes the holder's name and photograph, and other information, and has been updated over the years with numerous anti-counterfeiting devices. The latest hologram on the back of the card contains representations of all American presidents, flags of each state, image of the card holder and other personal information found on the front of the card.\n\nThe card must be in the possession of the U.S. permanent resident at all times. This means the U.S. permanent resident must have a currently valid card on their person at all times, to show to an USCIS officer, if requested. One interesting aspect of American law is that permanent residents are required to carry identification cards, but citizens are not.\n\nGreen cards were formerly issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). That agency's functions have been shifted to the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) formerly the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) in the Department of Homeland Security.\n\nIt is possible that an alien wants to work while the application for a green card is pending. Employment Authorization Document(EAD) is needed in this case.\n\nWikipedia knows all.

Probably none, since a valid Social Security number is required.\n\nWhy not immigrate legally, to avoid having to worry about things like this?

its a very simple process actually.  Just fill out the application including the fingerprints for offical processing.  If any discrepencies are found, you will have to correct them.

I read in an article that there is a data base that employers can use.  It is not set up to handle the volume of requests and verifications necessary, however.  It has been essentially used on a trial basis.  The Immigration Department maintains it and processes requests.
