Answered 7 years ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
You may be receiving Supplemental Security Income, meaning that you did not pay into Social Security long enough and close enough to the time of your disability, or you may be receiving very little Social Security Disability Insurance, possibly topped off by Supplemental Security Income, based on the amount you paid into Social Security.  Social Security Disability Insurance is equivalent to the amount you would receive in retirement benefits based on your work record....

is it possiible to get certitfied copy of green card from the person who is the custodian of the original record?

Answered 10 years and a month ago by Ms. Lisa L. Lanier (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
Dear Sourinha Chanthakhoun: You are the custodian of the original record if you are not a minor. The only way to certify a copy of a Green Card is when the original Green Card is presented for certification. If your Green Card needs to be replaced, getting your Green Card replaced if the first step in obtaining a certified copy of it. If you cannot afford the replacement fee, you can fill out a waiver form asking that the fee be waived. You cannot file for a waiver of the replacement fee if you file the replacement request online. You must file a paper replacement application accompanied by the waiver form and mail it to: USCIS, P.O. Box 21262, Phoenix, AZ, 21262. This response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor should it replace a full consultation with an attorney. Please be advised we cannot give full and complete legal advice without further information that is not capable of being conveyed in this format. If you would like to receive a free consultation regarding your possible legal matter, please feel free to call us at 855-234-7619.  ... Read More
