Green Card Renewal FAQs
Renewing your Green Card can be a bit confusing, but don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are some of the most common questions people have, along with quick answers:
When should I renew?
Think about it like renewing your driver's license. You want to do it before it expires, right? Same goes for your Green Card. Aim to renew it about 6 months before it runs out.
How do I renew?
You'll need to fill out a form called I-90. You can do this online or by mail. There's a fee to submit the form, but you might qualify for a discount, we can help you to see the best option for you!
What do I need to submit?
Besides the form, you'll need your current Green Card and some other documents to prove your identity and that you're still a permanent resident.
How long does it take?
It usually takes around 8-12 months to get your new Green Card. But that can change depending on how busy USCIS is.
Can I travel while I'm waiting?
Yes, you can! Just make sure you have your receipt from USCIS and a special stamp in your passport.
What if my Green Card expires before I get my new one?
Don't panic! The receipt you get when you submit your renewal application will keep your Green Card valid for 3 years.
