How can I extend my green card?

A green card allows an individual to legally live and work in the United States. To extend your green card, you must first determine what type of green card you possess. Depending on the type of green card, the process for extending it may vary. If your current green card has an expiration date, then you will need to fill out an I-90 form. This is an application for a renewal or replacement of a green card. The form must be filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at least six months before the expiration date. The form can be found on the USCIS website. Additionally, appropriate documentation must be provided in order to process the form. If your green card does not have an expiration date, then you can apply for an extension of your permanent residence status. You must file Form I-751 with USCIS within the 90 days before your permanent residence status expires. Form I-751 is the petition to remove conditions on residence. On this form, you need to provide evidence to support extending your green card. In South Dakota, you can find additional resources at the South Dakota Immigration Resource Center. The center helps individuals dealing with immigration law and provides legal information and access to pro bono legal services.

Para extender su tarjeta verde en el estado de Dakota del Sur, debe seguir algunos pasos. Primero, debe presentar un Formulario I-90, Solicitud de reemplazo de tarjeta de residente permanente, al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS). Esto debe hacerse antes de que la tarjeta verde expire. A continuación, debe presentar la documentación y los formularios necesarios con el Formulario I-90. Esto incluye fotografías recientes, copias de su pasaporte actual, una declaración de impuestos presentada para los últimos dos años, una identificación con foto, un documento de identificación emitido por el gobierno del estado de Dakota del Sur, su acta de nacimiento o su tarjeta verde original si aún la tiene. Una vez que haya completado y enviado el Formulario I-90, recibirá una carta del USCIS confirmando que han recibido su solicitud. El USCIS revisará su solicitud y le enviará una notificación de inicio de proceso con una fecha de vencimiento. Si no hay problemas, el USCIS le otorgará una visa de residencia permanente (otra tarjeta verde). La nueva tarjeta de residencia permanente tendrá una fecha de vencimiento de 10 años a partir de la fecha de emisión.
