Effective September 26, 2022, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) is automatically extending the validity of
permanent resident cards (green cards) to 24 months for lawful
permanent residents who file 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 extension. Form
I-90 receipt notices had previously provided a 12-month extension
of the validity of a green card. USCIS said it has updated the
language on Form I-90 receipt notices to extend this validity to 24
months for individuals with a newly filed Form I-90.
On September 26, 2022, USCIS began printing amended receipt
notices for individuals with a pending Form I-90. These receipt
notices can be presented with an expired green card as evidence of
continued status, USCIS said.
