Effective September 10, 2024, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is automatically extending the validity of green cards to 36 months for lawful permanent residents filing Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. Lawful permanent residents who properly file Form I-90 to renew an expiring or expired green card may receive this 36-month extension. USCIS is updating the language on the I-90 receipt notices to extend the validity of the Green Card for 36 months from the expiration date on the face of the Green Card. Amended receipt notices are automatically being created for pending I-90 cases (previously only a 24-month extension was provided). These I-90 receipt notices can be presented with an expired Green Card as evidence of continued lawful permanent residence status. USCIS’ full announcement can be found here.
