USCIS Green Card Extension, 36 Months for Renewals

Effective September 10, 2024, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new policy for Green Card extensions, automatically increasing the validity of permanent resident cards by 36 months for those who file Form I-90. This measure makes it easier for legal permanent residents to have valid proof of their status while they wait for their new card.

Receipt notifications and status validity

When applying for a Green Card extension, USCIS issues an updated receipt notice that, along with the expired card, serves as proof of permanent residence and employment authorization. This new policy ensures that applicants have a valid Green Card extension while facing longer processing times.

What if I don't have my Green Card?

If you lost your card and need proof of status, you can schedule an appointment at a local USCIS office. After you file Form I-90 for Green Card Extension, USCIS can issue an ADIT Seal as a temporary document. This seal, along with your pending application, serves as legal proof while your Green Card extension is being processed.

Additional information about extending your Green Card

It is important to keep your mailing address up to date in your USCIS online account while you wait for your Green Card extension. For more details on how to replace or renew your Green Card, you can visit the official USCIS website. Also, remember that a Green Card extension is a key tool to ensure you do not lose your status or your employment rights in the United States.
