green cards
If a person surrenders his green card, is that person still able to apply for a new one? If not, then what happens?

Re: green cards
There are circumstances under which you can replace your green card. some of them are:
Your previous card was lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed;
Your card was issued to you before you were 14 and you have reached your 14th birthday;
You have been a commuter and are now taking up actual residence in the United States;
You have been a permanent resident residing in the United States and are now taking up commuter status;
Your status has been automatically converted to permanent resident status, this includes Special Agricultural Worker applicants who are converting to permanent resident status;
You have a previous version of the alien registration card (e.g., USCIS Form AR-3, Form AR-103, or Form I-151 - all no longer valid to prove your immigration status) and must replace it with the current permanent resident card (Form I-551);
Your card contains incorrect data;
Your name or other biographic information on the card has been legally changed since you last received your card; or,
You never received the previous card that was issued to you by the USCIS.
If any of the above circumstance apply to you and you need help in replacing your green card, you can give my office a call at 714-832-8144. Goodluck.
