This is an important step, as it may be several weeks or months until you receive your green card in the mail. At the same time, donât shred your EAD and/or advance parole document just yet. Technically the I-551 stamp replaces these documents, but in the rare case where something is wrong with your green card or the stamp, youâll want to keep the EAD and/or advance parole travel document safe for now.
Assuming everything is correct and in order, you may now shred your EAD and/or advance parole travel document. If you do not receive your green card within 60 days of receiving the Notice of Approval, or if you receive the green card but there is an error, call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Youâll want to be well prepared for this interview. Make a copy of your application for your reference, as the interviewer will reference this in the interview. Also, bring original copies of any documents that you have submitted to USCIS (birth certificate, passport, etc.). If you are concerned about the interview itself, you can meet with an immigration attorney to discuss questions and prepare a strategy.

When you respond to an RFE, thereâs no limit on the amount of evidence that you can submit to USCIS. In fact, youâre not limited to evidence pertaining to the RFE, either. If you have any additional documentation that may strengthen your case, now is the time to submit these for review. Just be sure to include a cover letter with your RFE response and explain what documents are included and why you believe they are important to your case.
