When Do You Need to Renew Your Green Card?
Your permanent resident card (green card) is valid for 10 years. You need to file Form I-90 if your card has expired or will expire within the next 6 months, if your card was issued before you turned 14 and you are now 14 or older, if your card has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, or if your card contains incorrect information.
An expired green card does not affect your permanent resident status — you are still a lawful permanent resident. However, an expired card can prevent you from working, traveling internationally, and proving your identity.
How Long Does Green Card Renewal Take?
USCIS processing times for I-90 applications typically range from 8 to 14 months. After filing, you receive a receipt notice (I-797C) that extends your green card validity for 24 months from the card's original expiration date. This receipt serves as temporary proof of your status.
