Learn how to replace or renew the document that proves your legal permanent residence (LPR) in the United States.
Permanent residence is the immigration status that allows immigrants to legally live and work in the United States and subsequently be eligible to apply for US citizenship.
Residency is generally obtained through a sponsor, which can be an employer or an immediate family member. Another way to obtain it is through the diversity visa lottery, drawn by the State Department.
To renew your Green Card, it must be expired or expire within six months. To begin the process it is necessary to complete the I-90 form, this process can be done online or by mail. Online you must enter https://myaccount.uscis.gov/.
In that same site you can verify if they have received your request, or receive updates on your case. If the government approves the application, they will send a new permanent resident card to your address.
In the same way, you can replace your resident card, even if it has not expired. For example, due to theft, loss or damage to the card; because it contains incorrect information; because you have legally changed your name or other biographical information; among other. All this following the same process of filling and sending the form.
