As of September 10, 2024, USCIS has automatically extended the validity of Green Cards to 36 months (increased from the previous 24 months) for lawful permanent residents who properly file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card when they have an expiring or expired green card.
USCIS has updated the language on Form I-90 receipt notices to extend the validity of a Green Card for 36 months from the expiration date stated on the current Green Card. These receipt notices can be presented with an expired Green Card as evidence of continued status and employment authorization. The extension is intended to provide applicants experiencing longer processing times with proof of lawful permanent resident status while they wait for their renewed Green Card.
