USCIS Extends Green Card Validity to 24 Months for Green Card Renewals
/Beginning September 26, 2022, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin automatically extending the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (a.k.a. Green Cards) to 24 months for permanent residents who file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Cards. Form I-90 receipt notices had previously provided for a 12-month extension of the validity of a green card. Individuals who file an I-90 after September 26, 2022 will receive a receipt notice that provides for the new 24-month extension. Additionally, on September 26, USCIS also began printing amended receipt notices to send to individuals who currently have pending I-90 applications so that they may benefit from the longer extension period, as well.
