我母親由於父親突發重病去世，在國內停留時間超過了一年並且丟失了綠卡。但得到廣州領館的核準簽發了SB1 returning resident簽證得以重返美國。此類簽證幾乎重新走了一遍當初親屬綠卡申請的所有程序。她拿著使館給的package從美國CBP檢查關口入境了。並且把那個不能開封的信封拿走了。現在我們不知道該如何走下一步。廣州給了母親一個新綠卡號和一個case number。但這個號碼的位數比移民局網上新移民登陸支付160塊錢的文件號多兩位。無法像一個新移民那樣完成支付。難道SB1和新移民還不一樣。需要做的是file i90申請舊綠卡renew嗎？
-No. Your mother has reinstated her permanent residency status (i.e. regain her green card) after she reentered US using the SB-1 visa. After paying the immigrant fee, USCIS will send her a new plastic green card.
Read the instructions carefully at this website to find the case number to pay the immigrant fee:

Visa Stamp
You can also find your A-Number and DOS Case ID on the visa stamp (also called a visa foil) in your passport, as shown in the picture below.
- Your A-Number is identified as the Registration Number on your visa stamp. If your A-Number is fewer than nine digits, insert a zero after the “A” and before the first digit to create a nine-digit number. For example, “A12345678” would become “A012345678.”
- Your DOS Case ID is identified as the IV Case Number on your visa stamp. However, please note the IV Case Number has two additional numbers at the end, such as 01 or 02. When entering the IV Case Number as the DOS Case ID, do not include the last two numbers. For example, if your IV Case Number is “ABC1234567801,” you would enter your DOS Case ID as “ABC12345678” (do not include the “01”).
懂SB1的人真多很少，所以希望有經曆過的人能提供一些幫助。萬分感謝！
