Got your green card through the Diversity Visa Lottery? Great news! Renewing it follows the same steps as any green card holder. Here's a breakdown:

Renewing Your Green Card (Form I-90):

1. Application Form: You'll need Form I-90, regardless of how you obtained your green card. File it if your card is expiring, expired, lost, stolen, or damaged.

2. Supporting Documents: Gather proof of identity, a copy of your green card (if available), and any other documents listed in the instructions.

3. Submission: Mail or submit Form I-90 online through USCIS. Remember the filing fee and supporting documents.

4. Biometrics Appointment: USCIS might schedule you for fingerprints, photos, and signature at an Application Support Center (ASC).

5. Processing and Approval: USCIS will review your application and send your new green card by mail upon approval.

6. Renewal Window: DV Lottery green cards are usually valid for 10 years. Renew well before expiration to avoid gaps in your permanent resident status.

Important Notes:

• Renewal processes and requirements can change. Always check the latest USCIS guidance for the most up-to-date information.

• Consider consulting an immigration attorney for personalized assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Remember: Renewing your green card is a straightforward process. By following these steps and staying informed, you can ensure your lawful permanent resident status remains uninterrupted.
