What can I do if I lost my passport with my i-551 stamp and was denied a return resident visa?

Did you already have the two-year green card or 10-year green card? You can file an I-90 for replacement and travel with that receipt. Why did the consulate deny the Returning Resident? Because of the amount of time you have been overseas?

On these facts, it would be best to speak with an attorney who can review the documents to establish the facts and timeline of your case.

This is a common problem since Covid; if you were denied an SB-1 returning resident, you pretty much out of luck and may want to consider starting a new application for permanent residence. Technically, you can file an I-90 replacement green card while abroad but when you fail to appear for biometrics, then it too will be denied. You need to show you have tried to return and circumstances beyond your control barred you.

On what basis did you get your green card? Was it through EB-5? If so, you might have to apply all over again; and if you have a copy of everything that filed last time, it might be fairly easy to do so. You will have to pay the attorney and the filing fee again.

After four years, you may have abandoned your residency. The correct form if you lose your green card, to return, is I-131A.
