Green Card Expired During Renewal?

Your green card renewal is approved, but your old one is expired. No worries! Here's a quick guide:

  • New Green Card on the Way: Double-check all info when it arrives.

  • Temporary Proof Needed: Carry your approval notice (Form I-797) or USCIS stamp for verification until your new card arrives.

  • Traveling Abroad? Talk to USCIS or an attorney for re-entry documentation (like an I-551 stamp).

  • Employment Authorization: Inform your employer about the renewal and provide proof to avoid issues.

  • Address Change? Update USCIS with your new address to ensure proper delivery of the new card.

Remember: Approval usually reinstates your status, but there might be temporary inconveniences. Stay informed and consult an attorney if needed.
