Since I don’t have the card my other way is to have A W2 from previous year which shows my name and social security number , I tried to request a replacement social security card through social security administration but with no success because my green card expired even though I have foreign passport driver lic …..so I contacted my previous employers but with no success since they don’t keep very old W2 prior years .
