The Process for a Green Card Renewal
The process for renewing a green card using Form I-90 involves several steps.
Determine eligibility: You must be eligible to file Form I-90, which is used to renew or replace an existing green card.
Complete Form I-90: Fill out the form accurately. You must provide all required information and documentation.
Gather required documents: Depending on your situation, you may need to submit additional documents, such as a copy of your current green card, evidence of a name change, or proof of biographical data changes.
Pay the filing fee: Submit the required filing fee with your application. The fee amount can vary. The USCIS website provides the most current information. Fee waivers may be available for those who qualify.
Submit your application: If filing online, submit your application through the USCIS online portal. If filing by mail, send your completed form and supporting documents to the appropriate USCIS address.
Receive a receipt notice: After submitting your application, you will receive a notice from USCIS confirming that your application has been received.
Attend a biometrics appointment: USCIS may require you to attend a biometrics appointment to collect your fingerprints, photograph, and signature. You will receive a notice with your appointment’s date, time, and location.
Wait for processing: USCIS will process your application, which can take months. You can check the status of your application online using the receipt number provided in your notice.
Receive your new green card: Once your application is approved, USCIS will mail your new green card to the address you provided. Your address must be up-to-date to avoid delivery issues.
“I was a stranger, and you took me in… then the righteous answered him, saying Lord… when saw we thee a stranger and took thee in?

Green cards generally need to be renewed every 10 years. It’s essential to start the renewal process about six months before the expiration date to maintain your legal status and avoid disruptions in your ability to work, travel, or prove your residency status.
The processing time for a green card renewal can range from seven to twelve months, depending on the case and the USCIS’s workload. When you receive your receipt, the USCIS may request additional information or documentation. To safeguard against delays, promptly complying with any USCIS requests is crucial.
If you have a conditional green card, often issued for two years (such as those given to certain spouses of U.S. citizens), you must file a petition to remove the conditions before it expires rather than a standard renewal.
