我母亲由于父亲突发重病去世，在国内停留时间超过了一年并且丢失了绿卡。但得到广州领馆的核准签发了SB1 returning resident签证得以重返美国。此类签证几乎重新走了一遍当初亲属绿卡申请的所有程序。她拿着使馆给的package从美国CBP检查关口入境了。并且把那个不能开封的信封拿走了。现在我们不知道该如何走下一步。广州给了母亲一个新绿卡号和一个case number。但这个号码的位数比移民局网上新移民登陆支付160块钱的文件号多两位。无法像一个新移民那样完成支付。难道SB1和新移民还不一样。需要做的是file i90申请旧绿卡renew吗？
-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，所以希望有经历过的人能提供一些帮助。万分感谢！
