Prepare Your USCIS Form I-90Permanent Resident Card Renewal Application

What is the I-90 Application?

The Form I-90 application is used by permanent residents of the United States to replace or renew their Permanent Resident Cards. Conditional permanent residents must use a different process to replace an I-90 that has expired or will expire within 90 days.

We’ll help you prepare your entire application package and provide you with everything necessary to file it with USCIS. In addition, we’ll give you the flexibility to manage all your immigration paperwork online from anywhere. Even better, we can do this all online for you.

A Permanent Resident Card proves you live in the U.S. legally and permanently.

The law requires Green Card holders who are at least 18 years old to always maintain possession of the Green Card for identification purposes. Failure to do so constitutes a misdemeanor and can carry a fine of up to $100 and a jail sentence of up to 30 days.

You can’t file Form I-90 during the 90 day period before your Green Card expires.

Conditional Green Card holders with a limited two-year status that was obtained through marriage or business operator status, use Form I-750, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

Common Reasons for Filing Form I-90

File Form I-90 if USCIS issued a Green Card to you, but you haven’t received it. Similarly, you’ll file Form I-90 if your current Green Card is lost, stolen, destroyed or otherwise mutilated.

In addition, you’ll file Form I-90 if you need to correct Department of Homeland Security (DHS) information on your Green Card, or if you have legally-changed updated information like a name change or a new address.

You’ll also want to file Form I-90 if any of these apply to your situation:

• Expired or soon-to-expire Green Card within six months
• Turning age 14
• Granted automatic permanent residence by USCIS
• Establishing beginning commuter status (you’ve been approved to live in another country, while commuting to the U.S. for work)
• Ending commuter status (you’ve been approved to actually live in the U.S., after being a commuter to the U.S. for work)
• Outdated style used in legacy Green Cards that doesn’t include the security features of modern cards

Regardless of your reason to file Form I-90, we’ll help you through the process to aid you in maintaining your Green Card compliance.

How Do I Renew My Permanent Resident Card?

While the application can be long, it takes just a few steps to renew your Permanent Resident Card. Simply create an account with USCIS and fill out Form I-90. Include a copy of your current green card and any other required documents. Then review and sign your application, pay any fees, and mail it in.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Green Card Renewal?

On average, it takes about 10-12 months to renew a green card. This process can take longer if there are any errors with your application or problems with delivery.

What Happens if My Permanent Resident Card Expires?

If your green card expires before you can renew it, you may apply for a temporary permanent resident card. You will still be a legal resident of the United States and won’t be deported simply because your green card expired. You also won’t face any additional late on top of the standard renewal fee once you replace your green card.
