<p>Can one sue a postal service if they had their green card ship to them by homeland security and the postal service lost it?</p>
<p>Probably not since it’s free to replace: [USCIS</a> - I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card](<a href=“http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b3f7ab0a43b5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD]USCIS”>http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b3f7ab0a43b5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD)</p>

<p>No, you would have no case. If HS insured the package, they could probably collect on whatever they insured it for, but as the recipient, you’d have no claim. Sorry.</p>
<p>Why would you sue? You get the green card replaced for free. Are you going to sue for the cost of a stamp?</p>
<p>Now that’s litigious.</p>
<p>How can your prove you mailed it? And to the correct address? Did you send it certified? Overnight? </p>
<p>I could say I send something, but how can I prove I actually put in the mail box?</p>
<p>Oh good grief. Seriously?!</p>
<p>bd, clearly for pain and suffering ;)</p>
<p>In addition, you could get a painful paper cut while handling another envelope.</p>
<p>thanks you romanigypsyeyes I feel better now that I know that its free to get a new one and I meet all criteria.</p>
<p>in case you all want to know well my parent were going to sue the postal service because the green cost them around $2000 with all expense. now that they know its free its not necessary anymore. but still we will have to wait three more month.</p>
<p>I hope you’re bringing something to the U.S. besides a lawsuit.</p>
<p>^^ No kidding.</p>
<p>you inspired me to sue my cat for scratching my arm and causing me to bleed.</p>
<p>I may sue for the time lost reading this thread…</p>
<p>^we need a “like” button</p>
<p>I’m glad you will be able to replace it for free. You must have been very upset when you thought your family had spent $2,000 on something that was lost.</p>
<p>Welcome to America, where we sue before a 20 second google search. Seriously, it took me less than a minute to find that.</p>
<p>workHaRd12 - If we continue down the path of all these silly lawsuits, then the America you chose to work or study in will no longer exist.</p>
<p>Welcome to America - the land where not everything goes according to plan. Maybe things worked more smoothly in your home country. In this country, mistakes and accidents happen - and we love living here anyway.</p>
<p>Usually things can be worked out by a phone call or two. You just have to call a couple of times if you don’t get satisfaction, and yes, a Google search does wonders. It is way too much effort to sue, the lawyer ends up with most of the money anyways.</p>
