I misplaced my Green card and I need my alien # for an application. I've been moaning and crying the past hour figuring out how else I can retrieve my #. I've thought of past circumstances where I had to use my # in an application or something. I've checked my bank account forms and tuition forms and none of it has a record. Can anyone else give me clues as to where else I could possibly look? I really don't want to make one up.

When do you need to submit the application by?

If it can wait until Monday, I would call immigration.

see if you have any old receipts from USCIS/INS. That should contain it. If not, do as RossMAN says call USCIS on Monday. Except I have a feeling they wont give it to you for privacy reasons. If they don't then just schedule an infopass appointment.

Check your Passport it should have the A# written there when you entered the U.S. Good luck.

You didn't recieve any paperwork at all from INS when you applied for a green card? Any letters regarding your green card application should have your a# on it...
