How do I renew my green card once I’ve received it?

If you are a permanent resident or green card holder in Washington, you must renew your green card if it was issued for a period of 10 years. To renew your green card, you must file Form I-90 with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You are eligible to apply to renew your green card if you are usually a resident in the United States, you have not abandoned your permanent residence, and you have not committed any actions that would make you ineligible to obtain a green card. In the Form I-90, you will need to answer a series of questions related to your eligibility, provide your biographical information such as your name, address, date of birth and other such personal details, and submit any accompanying documents you may have. In addition to this, you must also submit documents to establish your identity and residency as well as documents that prove your marriage to a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident. These documents may include evidence such as marriage certificates, divorce or death certificates, and a copy of your green card. Once you have submitted the Form I-90 and all necessary documents, you will need to pay the filing fee and wait for the USCIS to process your application. If approved, you will receive a new green card.
