People who lawfully come into the United States from other countries will require documentation verifying they’re authorized to work and allowed to stay here. The most common document is called the green card or permanent residence card.
Generally, green cards and immigration visas are crucial for those who want to reside lawfully in the US. If your green card gets lost, stolen, or damaged, or expired, you’ll have to get it replaced or renewed. That means you require Form I-90! Citizen Concierge can help you fill out the form, but we want you to learn more about it first.
The USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) Form I-90 is the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. This is what the permanent resident must use when they renew or replace their green card. If your card is about to expire, has expired, was lost, destroyed, damaged, or stolen, you’ll have to file that form with the USCIS and can do it by mail or online.

Every permanent resident will not be required to file Form I-90 to receive their new green card (permanent resident card). Here’s an overview of who shouldn’t and should file Form I-90:
Typically, a permanent resident will require Form I-90 if they must replace or renew a green card. If you are a permanent resident with an expired permanent resident card, or it will expire within the next six months, you will need Form I-90.
Green cards with a 10-year lifespan must be renewed before they expire. Likewise, green cards that were lost, damaged, destroyed, and stolen will have to be replaced. As a permanent resident, it’s your job to protect your right to live in the US, and this is the lawful way to do it.
Those with a conditional green card should use a different process to renew their residency. Typically, a conditional green card expires about two years from its issuance date. You’re required to replace it with a permanent green card (10-year version) before the renewal eligibility date with Form I-90.
Moving from a conditional green card to a permanent green card focuses on “removing the conditions.” To do that, you’ll file Form I-829 (conditional US investment card) or I-751 (conditional marriage-based card).
If you have a temporary green card and aren’t trying to remove conditions or renew your residency, you won’t need this form. Likewise, if you’re trying to reach lawful permanent resident status for the first time, you don’t require this form.
When you file Form I-90, it depends on the reason you’re requesting the new green card, though you can apply online or through the mail with a paper Form I-90. Below, you’ll find more information about each option:

It’s crucial to understand that Form I-90 is a legal document. You will have to sign it, and it’s binding. In your statement, you’ll have to indicate who helped you fill out the form if you required assistance. They will also have to sign and provide their personal information.
If you require more space to answer the questions on Form I-90, you’ll write or type that information here. Sometimes, the page won’t give you enough room for your answer. When that happens, you can attach other sheets of paper. Make sure to include your A-Number and name at the top of every extra sheet.
It’s also wise to indicate the part number, page number, and item number on the form when providing additional answers. Plus, you will have to sign and date every extra sheet.

What if we told you that you’d be saving, on average, $850 when you compare our service to hiring an immigration lawyer? For only $139, you get the following in the immigrant visa petition package:
It’s okay to send photocopies of the documents. In fact, it’s best not to send the originals unless you’re instructed to do so. If any of the documents are written in another language (not English), you must include the certified translation of the document with Form I-90.
Once the USCIS receives your green card renewal/replacement application, which includes Form I-90, the payment, and the supporting documents, it will send updates by mail and to your online account. If you don’t create an online account, it will do so for you.
These updates include:
If the USCIS has what it needs to process the application and approves the request, you’ll get your new green card sometime during the timeline stated on the letter. Remember that delays are possible.
However, if you submitted the green card renewal application after or on September 26, 2022, the USCIS mails a receipt notice that extends the validity of your green card for 24 months after its expiration date. It’s best to keep the receipt notice for your records.
Likewise, if your I-90 form is pending and you filed before September 26, 2022, the USCIS will send an amended receipt notice that extends the green card validity for a full 24 months after the expiration date. Again, you should keep the amended receipt notice to avoid problems.
Your confirmation letter sent from the USCIS will include a receipt number, which is 13 characters long (10 numbers and three letters). You’ll use that to track your I-90 application progress.
Visit the USCIS website to check the status of your application by using the “check status online” tool. You’ll enter the receipt number in the provided space and click the “check status” button.
If there’s a dash symbol or an asterisk, you should not include them when entering the receipt number.
Generally, the average processing time of Form I-90 is between 1.5 months to one year for renewals and about 5.5 to 13.5 months for replacements. However, the wait time will vary based on your location and situation, as well as the current workload of the USCIS.
The filing fee for sending Form I-90 right now is $455. Most of the time, you’ll also pay a biometrics fee ($85), which brings the full cost to $540. These are nonrefundable fees.
You could be exempt from paying both or one fee, though.
In fact, you’ll pay $0 if:
You’ll only pay $85 if you turned 14 years old in the last 30 days, and the green card expires after you’ll turn 16.
The way you pay the filing fee depends on whether you filed your Form I-90 by mail or online. Here are the options:
You could be eligible for a fee waiver when filing Form I-90 if you meet specific requirements. To qualify, you have to prove to the government that you can’t afford the fees because you get public benefits, you’ve got a low income, or you’re experiencing a financial hardship.
If you wish to apply for the waiver, you should complete a separate form, submitting the appropriate documentation about your finances. When and if approved, the biometrics and filing fees will be waived, so you pay nothing.
