Choosing the Right Method for Filing Form I-90 to renew your Resident Card or Green Card: Online vs. Paper

When choosing how to file Form I-90, there are a few factors to consider, including speed, convenience, and the need for a fee waiver.

Paper Filing

  • More extended processing time: Paper filings generally take longer to process than online filings.

  • Fee waiver option: Paper filing is the only option for those seeking a fee waiver.


Online Filing

  • Faster processing time: Online filers typically receive their I-797 notice more quickly.

  • Ability to apply for an Adit Stamp: Online filers can apply for a temporary permanent resident card (Adit Stamp) while waiting for their new green card.

Which method is right for you?

If you need a replacement green card quickly, online filing is the best option. If you are not in a hurry and are eligible for a fee waiver, paper filing is a viable option.
