Lawful permanent residents (“Green card Holders”) whose “green cards” have been lost or have expired must apply for a replacement or renewal of their “green card” with USCIS by filing Form I-90.  It is recommended that lawful permanent residents with valid cards apply for renewal at least six months before the card’s expiration.

There are many things to consider before applying for replacement or renewal green card.  For eg: an immigrant who has been arrested or convicted of a crime, either before  or after the last issuance of her “green card”, could be placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge, depending on the specific facts of her case.  We recommend to consult with an immigration attorney for such renewal or replacement applications.
