How to get Forign passport from ICE - DHS ?
I’m a us green card holder now .In 2017 ice Dhs held my passport at ice dhs center at oakbrook Illinois (I went there through an attorney because I over stayed and ice was looking for me )
when I tried to reach oakbrook DHS ice office they have moved out from that building.
when I call DHS they transfer me to USCIS and USCIS telling me to talk to ICE- DHS .
when I call my embassy to get a new passport they said they need a police report and they can’t accept ice documents because it doesn’t explicitly say they took my passport.
Now I want to get it back
Can you help me how to do that please ?

why don’t you get a new one? report it lost and start the process of a new one.
I lost my passport and started the whole process again and got a new passport.
you will probably get your passport quicker getting a new one than waiting for DHS

@poto mac your file should be in uscis jurisdiction now. once removal proceedings are terminated, ice transfers your whole file to uscis. especially since uscis adjudicated your I-485 recently. I think uscis has your passport. file Form G-884, it's free. I mailed it to 3 different places: NBC, field office and address from I-485 admin closure form. make sure to notarize it. a month later after filing G-884 I received an appointment letter from field office, went there and they gave me back my passport.

I also got a run around from uscis when I called them. you speak with tier 1 reps, they don't know anything, not about procedures to retrieve passport, not whether uscis had my passport. absolutely useless.
I called and emailed local ice office and they were much more helpful 🤣
they confirmed that they transfered my alien file (including my original foreign passport) to uscis and told me to file Form G-884.
