Green card validity extended to 36 months while waiting for replacement card
/Effective Sept. 10, 2024, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is automatically extending the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards) to 36 months for lawful permanent residents who properly file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, to renew an expiring or expired Green Card. Form I-90 receipt notices had previously provided proof of an automatic 24-month extension. USCIS has since updated the language on Form I-90 receipt notices to extend validity for 36 months from the expiration date on the face of the current Green Card for individuals with a newly filed Form I-90 renewal request. USCIS has started printing amended receipt notices for individuals with a pending Form I-90. These receipt notices can be presented with an expired Green Card as evidence of continued status and employment authorization. Permanent Residents who no longer have their Green Cards and need evidence of lawful permanent resident status while waiting on a replacement may contact USCIS to schedule an appointment at a Field Office where they can obtain an Alien Documentation, Identification, and Telecommunications (ADIT) stamp in their passport after filing Form I-90.
