Permanent Resident Card Renewal

To renew your Permanent Resident Card, also known as a Green Card, you will need to follow a specific process. Please note that the information provided here is based on the knowledge available up until September 2021, and it’s always advisable to consult the official USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) website for the most up-to-date information. Here are the general steps involved in renewing your Permanent Resident Card:

  1. Form I-90: Start by filling out Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. This form is available on the USCIS website (uscis.gov) and can be completed online or by mail.

  2. Gather supporting documents: Along with the completed Form I-90, you will need to gather the necessary supporting documents. These typically include a copy of your expiring or expired Green Card, any additional required documents specified in the form’s instructions (such as a marriage certificate or court order for a name change, if applicable), and two identical color passport-style photographs.

  3. Pay the filing fee: As of September 2021, the filing fee for Form I-90 is $540, which includes a $455 application fee and an $85 biometric services fee. However, please note that fees can change, so it’s essential to check the USCIS website or consult with an immigration attorney to confirm the current fees.

  4. Submit the application: If you are filing online, you can submit your application electronically through the USCIS website. If filing by mail, ensure that you include the completed Form I-90, supporting documents, and the appropriate fee payment in the form of a check or money order payable to the “U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”

  5. Biometrics appointment: After submitting your application, USCIS will schedule you for a biometrics appointment. This appointment is to collect your fingerprints, photograph, and signature.

  6. Attend the interview (if required): In some cases, USCIS may require an interview as part of the renewal process. If you are called for an interview, make sure to attend it on the scheduled date and time. Bring any requested documents and be prepared to answer questions about your application.

  7. Wait for the decision: Once USCIS has received your application and conducted any necessary interviews, they will review your case. You will receive a decision in the mail, either granting or denying your application. If approved, you will receive your new Permanent Resident Card (Green Card).

It’s important to note that the renewal process can take several months, so it’s recommended to apply for a renewal well in advance of your Green Card’s expiration date.

If you have any specific questions or need further guidance, it’s advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or contact USCIS directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
