Lost/Expired Legal Permanent Residency Cards (Green Cards)

Two groups of family based immigrant visa categories, including immediate relatives and family preference categories, are provided under the provisions of United States immigration law, specifically the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Please be aware that the Immigrant Visa Section cannot provide transportation boarding letters without advance notice.  We are required to verify your legal status with the Department of Homeland Security prior to issuance.  Therefore, please contact the Immigrant Visa Section as far in advance of your travel as possible.
