Richmond, CA asked in Immigration Law for California

Q: Hello,  I'm a conditional green card holder and unfortunately I have recently been involved in a petty theft crime

My green card along with other personal items were in my wallet at the time of the theft. The issue is that my green card expires in March of 2020 and I'm not sure if I can use the I-90 form in my case. 

What can I do to move forward?

A: You are almost to the 90-day window for filing the I-751.

You can file the I-90 based on lost/stolen card, but you will be able to, probably a month later, file the I-751. Depending on your circumstances, you might want to just wait.
