Will uscis mail my green card overseas
USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) typically mails green cards to the applicant's address on file, which is usually the address listed on the application. If you are currently overseas, there are a few scenarios to consider:
- If you are a non-immigrant visa holder: If you are a non-immigrant visa holder (e.g., H-1B, L-1, F-1, etc.) and your green card is being processed, USCIS will typically mail the green card to your U.S. address. If you are currently overseas, you may need to provide a U.S. address where the green card can be mailed.
- If you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR) abroad: If you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR) who is currently living abroad, USCIS will typically mail the green card to your foreign address. However, if you are not physically present in the United States, you may need to provide a U.S. address where the green card can be mailed.
- If you are a refugee or asylee: If you are a refugee or asylee, USCIS will typically mail the green card to your foreign address.
To ensure that your green card is mailed to the correct address, you should:
- Verify that your address is up-to-date with USCIS by checking your online account or contacting the USCIS Contact Center.
- Provide a U.S. address where the green card can be mailed, if you are currently overseas.
- Keep in mind that USCIS may require additional documentation or proof of your U.S. address before mailing the green card.
If you have any concerns about your green card being mailed overseas, you can contact the USCIS Contact Center or consult with an immigration attorney for guidance.
