안녕하세요
미국 영주권자 전수빈입니다.

고국 방문중  서울 명동에서
영주권과 소셜카드를 분실했습니다.
다행인지 제가 영주권 소셜카드 복사해놓은것은 있는데

어쨌든
주한 미대사관에서 재발급 이 가능한지요
걱정입니다.

도움글 부탁드립니다.

If you lost your green card outside of America, things become a bit more complicated compared to losing your green card in the US. Here is a brief overview of the steps to be taken to replace lost green cards outside of the US:

*

Police report: go to the nearest police station and report the loss or theft of your green card. Make sure you get a written police report about the incident.
*

Newspaper ad: publish an ad in the classified section of the local newspaper, and declare the card void. Get the official receipt of the ad placement, as well as buy a copy of the newspaper with your ad, and keep it
*

Transportation letter from the US Embassy: go to the nearest US Embassy, report the loss of your green card and ask for a “transportation letter” or “boarding letter”. In lack of a green card this letter confirms your legal status and permits you to board the airplane to the US. The transportation letter is valid for one entry, for one week to a month depending which US embassy issuing it. It can take up to a few days to get it issued, depending on how fast your permanent resident status can be verified. If you fail to travel within the letter’s validity period, this will expire, and you will have to re-apply for a new letter, paying the appropriate fees again.

To get a transportation letter issued, you will tipically need the following documents:
o

Completed application form, form I-90
o

Valid passport with proof of your permanent resident status. This proof is a stamp in your passport, called ADIT-stamp (Alien Documentation and Identification System), which you receive when you first enter the US under the permanent resident status. This stamp in your passport is the only evidence of your green-card-status till you receive the plastic green card in the mail, which takes about a year. The ADIT stamp shows the date of entry to the USA, and your employment authorization so you can work freely.
o

Police report about lost/stolen card
o

Evidence of the most recent departure from the USA to show that you departed the US less than a year ago. You can use an airline ticket or a boarding pass stub
o

4 recent passport photographs of 5 x 5 cm (2.5. x 2.5 inch)
o

Filing fee of $190 or equivalent local currency, payable in cash. The filing fee is non-refundable even if your application is not approved.
* Green card replacement application: as soon as you get back to the United States you should file an application for lost green cards. Green cards can not be replaced or renewed by US Embassies, or outside of USA.
