Green Cards Not Delivered

Whoops: Green Cards Sent to Wrong Address

The Washington Post has reported a recent malfunction, resulting in USCIS sending hundreds of Permanent Resident (Green Cards) to incorrect addresses. This causes all sorts of headaches, involving USPS and USCIS, and unnecessary delays. It is important to make sure that you are updating your address with USCIS (and if applicable, the Immigration Court and Immigration and Customs Enforcement) whenever you move.

USCIS switched over to the ELIS system in 2012 for delivering Green Cards. A report from the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security notes that the number of incorrectly sent Green Cards has increased since then.
