Renew Your Green Card: Processing Time

Wondering how long it will take to get your new green card after applying with Form I-90? The wait can vary, but here's what to expect:

What Affects Processing Times?

  • USCIS Caseload: The number of applications USCIS is currently handling can impact processing speed.

  • Your Case's Complexity: Straightforward applications might be processed faster than those requiring additional review.

  • Extra Information Needed: If USCIS needs more documents from you, it can add time to the process.

General Processing Timeframe:

USCIS aims to process Form I-90 applications within 9 to 13.5 months from the receipt date. This is just an estimate, and the actual time may be shorter or longer.

Stay Updated on Processing Times:

USCIS processing times change, so check their website's "Check Case Processing Times" page for the most recent estimates on Form I-90 and other applications.

Expedited Processing (Rare Cases):

USCIS may expedite your application in urgent situations (like critical travel needs). However, these requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and typically reserved for specific criteria.

Checking Your Application Status:

If your application takes longer than expected and you haven't heard from USCIS, you can contact them with your receipt number for a status update.

Remember:

  • Processing times can fluctuate. Be patient and prepared for potential delays.

  • For specific guidance on your situation, consult an immigration attorney.
