Earlier in the year, I lost my wallet which contained my Permanent Residency Card.
In June, I applied for a replacement card, but never received a receipt letter.
In July, I received a letter for my fingerprint appointment.
In August, new fingerprints and pictures were taken. This was the time my employer started to demand to see my Permanent Residency Card.
In September, I tried getting a state ID card to use in conjunction with my SS card to satisfy I-9 requirements, but DMV won’t issue me with an ID card without my Permanent Residency Card.
In October I called the USCIS and found that my application was 60 days overdue. In visited the USCIS office in L.A. and was told my card would arrive any day now and to just be patient.
It’s now November 16, my card is now more than 90 days overdue.
Is there anything else I can do to speed this up? What pisses me off the most is that in February, I have to start the process to remove conditional status!

Damn that's a bummer... and it's not even the type of card that comes with any credit... just a piece of plastic, worth nothing to anyone else but worth a lot of 'money' to you!
