Q: Lost of Green card

Subject: lost Greencard

I have a conditional greencard through marriage. Unfortunately, I lost all my legal documents overseas including my greencard. I was able to return to USA with a travel permit. Now since I'm here, I haven't been able to replace my SS or to get my drivers license. My 90 days to apply for I-751 will be next month. Should I apply for I-190 to replace my greencard? Or should I wait? Is there anyway to get my SS replace?

A: Your first step is to apply for a replacement green card.

A: I would highlight that you will need to file your I-751 within the appropriate timeframe. Please understand that you do not need to have the replacement Green Card in hand to apply to remove the conditions.
