This month the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) issued a Policy Alert announcing that, effective December 12, 2022, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) with pending N-400 Applications for Naturalization no long need to file for extensions of their Permanent Resident Card (“Green Card”) as presenting an N-400 receipt notice will automatically extend the validity of their Green Card for 24 months past their expiration date.
USCIS is in the process of updating language on its Form N-400 receipt Notice of Action (Form I-797) to include an automatic extension of Green Cards for 24 months from the “Card Expires” date listed on the PRC and updating the related policy.
