My uncle daughter's is the petitioner in Beaumont California. Before my uncle left the daughter's house, He asks for his Philippine passport and U.S. alien-green-card but the daughter didn't give his ID's. So my uncle left together with his brother to live permanently in Vallejo, California. How can my uncle get his passport and green card?

Unfortunately, replacing a green card is expensive -- $455. It's generally better to keep it in one's personal possession at all times (in fact there is a law that requires it). It's not necessary for a green card holder to have a passport, however, so unless your uncle intends to travel to another country then he can wait to replace that.

A necessary first step in such a situation is filing a police report in the town where the withholding/theft occurred (or is suspected to have occurred.) Generally, a complainant can do this by visiting a police station and being interviewed by an officer. Once the report is taken, a few possible outcomes might occur:
- The police visit the person suspected of holding the documents, and persuade them to give them back.
- The police visit the person suspected of holding the documents, but are convinced (either rightly or wrongly) that the suspect does not actually have the documents.
- The police do not bother to visit the person suspected of holding the documents due to other, more pressing matters.
In scenario 1, the complainant will get their documents back. In scenario 2 or 3, the complainant will have to get their documents replaced by their home country and/or the United States. The procedure for the replacement of lost or stolen documents often requires the filing of a police report, so with either one of these outcomes, filing a police report is necessary.
