Card Was Returned To USCIS

What it means

The Postal Service could not deliver your card and sent it back to USCIS, usually because of a wrong or incomplete address or a name not on the mailbox.

What usually happens next

USCIS holds the card. It is mailed again once your address is confirmed or corrected.

What to do now

• Update your address with USCIS right away.
• Contact USCIS to ask for the card to be resent to the correct address.

Questions

How long does USCIS keep a returned card?

For a limited time; travel documents, for example, are held for 180 days. Act quickly so you do not have to refile.
