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.
