Renew Your Green Card / Permanent Resident Card
Your green card is proof of your status and your ability to live and work in the U.S. Most green cards issued for permanent residents are valid for 10 years. When yours is about to expire (or has already), renewal is essential.
At Sakhniuk Immigration Law, led by Attorney Oksana Sakhniuk, we help guide you through renewing your green card via Form I‑90, plus special situations for conditional cards or overseas renewals. If your card was lost or damaged, you may need green card replacement instead. Review your obligations for maintaining permanent residence to avoid complications. Planning to travel? A reentry permit is essential for long trips abroad. Contact us today to start your renewal filing.
When & How to Renew
- If your green card is valid for 10 years: file renewal when it expires or within six months before expiration.
- If you hold a conditional green card (2-year period): you must file to remove conditions before expiry (Form I‑751 or I‑829, depending on context).
- If you're outside the U.S. when your card is expiring: special situations apply — contact consulate, USCIS or port of entry to manage renewal.
If your renewal petition is approved, you'll receive a new green card valid for another 10 years.
Renewal Outside the U.S.
If you are outside the United States when the card expires and you have not applied for the renewal card prior to your departure, you should contact the nearest U.S. Consulate, USCIS office or U.S. port of entry before attempting to file for a renewal green card with the help of a legal professional.
