Green card delivered to wrong address after address change

A green card recipient who moved out of state filed an address change within 3 days of relocating, but USCIS had not processed the update in time — the card was shipped to the old address 10 days later. USPS tracking confirms delivery, but the current occupant claims not to have received the mail. This situation highlights a common gap between when USCIS receives an address change notification and when it is actually applied to pending case processing. Even timely updates may not be reflected before documents are already queued for mailing. For EB-3 applicants and other green card recipients, the primary remedy in this scenario is filing Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card). While there is no guarantee of a fast resolution, reporting the non-receipt through official USCIS channels and filing I-90 is the correct path forward. Applicants who experience similar issues should also file a complaint with USPS, request the mail carrier's delivery confirmation details, and consider contacting their local USCIS field office or congressional representative's office for casework assistance. This case underscores the importance of proactively monitoring USCIS case status online and acting immediately when a move is anticipated — ideally before the move occurs — to minimize the risk of document misdelivery after years of waiting.
