Another Day, Another Rule To Remember: USCIS Adds New I-9 List A Document Combo

Likely triggered by complications resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic¹ and increases in processing times to replace permanent resident cards, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)  announced on January 12 that the agency will issue a revised Form I-797, Notice of Action, for all Form I-90² applications filed beginning in January 2021. This I-797 notice will serve as a receipt notice for the I-90, as well as extend the validity of a Permanent Resident Card ("PRC" or "Green Card") for 12 months from the "Card Expires" date on the front of the card. This change ensures that certain lawful permanent residents have documentation for completing Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, as well as for travel and identity purposes.
