Renewing your Green Card is an important part of maintaining your legal resident status in the United States. This guide will provide you with a step-by-step process for renewing your Green Card. Following these steps will help make sure you have a successful and smooth renewal process.
Step 1: Prepare for Renewal
The first step to renewing your Green Card is to prepare the necessary documents and information. You will need to have your original Green Card and a valid passport at the minimum. You may also need to provide documentation such as tax returns or other documents showing that you have maintained your legal residency in the United States. If you have any trips outside the US, you will also need to provide documentation of your travel.
You will also need to complete Form I-90, the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. The form includes personal information such as your name, address, and other contact information. Additionally, you will be asked to provide information about your current status and any previous immigration history.
When completing the form, make sure to read and answer all questions carefully. It is important to provide accurate information so that your application will be processed quickly and without issue.
Step 2: Complete the Forms
Once you have collected all the necessary documents and completed Form I-90, you are ready to submit your application. You must mail your application, along with all necessary documents and payment, to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Make sure to keep a copy of your application and all other documents for your own records.
The USCIS will review your application and contact you if they need additional information. Once your application is approved, you will receive a new Green Card with a new expiration date. Make sure to keep your new Green Card in a safe place and remember to renew it before it expires.
Renewing your Green Card is an important part of maintaining your legal resident status in the US. Following the steps outlined in this guide will help make sure you have a successful and smooth renewal process. With all the necessary documents and information prepared and Form I-90 completed, you are now ready to submit your application. Good luck with your Green Card renewal!
