Permanent Resident Card Exp. Date.?
how long have you been out of the US? How Do I Apply to Renew My Permanent Resident Card? If you are a lawful permanent resident whose ten-year I-551 has expired or will expire within the next six months, you may renew your card by filing an Form I-90. A Form I-90 can be downloaded from this site, or ordered by calling the Forms request line at 1 (800) 870-3676, or by submitting a request on-line. After receiving Form I-90, read it carefully. Detailed information is provided in the instructions for the Form I-90. Applicants may also file Form I-90 on-line using an Internet connection.

If you are outside the United States, and your permanent resident card will expire within six months, (but you will return within one year of your departure from the United States and before the card expires), you should file for your renewal card as soon as you return to the United States. If you are outside of the United States at the time of the card’s expiration, and you have not applied for the renewal card prior to your departure, you should contact the nearest American Consulate, USCIS office, or Port of Entry, before attempting to file Form I-90 for a renewal I-551 card. For more information on USCIS office locations, see the Field Offices page. For information on filing fees, see filing fees, fee waiver request procedures, and the fee waiver policy memo.
My dad's permanent resident card is up for renewal....?
Yes----why does your Dad not apply for citizenship, he will have to obtain it sooner or later--might as well do it now while the fee has not been raised, you can file N-400 on line -- send in all the information and fees -- saves a lot of headache in the long run.
U.S. Permanent Resident card renewal ?
Faye . . . let me rub my crystal ball and see if I can figure out what you are not telling us. Okay . . . got it. You had been married for less than 2 years when you got your Green Card. Thus, your Green Card is a conditional, 2-year card, the condition being that you stay married to your U.S. husband. If so . . . still rubbing it . . . you can't renew your card. Instead, you will have to file for Removal of Conditions (RoC) via form I-751, which is a pretty big deal. The cost is $590 and what you'll need to do is provide proof that you've been living happily with hubby under one roof in the U.S. Here's what you need: 2 years worth of jointly filed income tax returns. Joint lease or mortgage. Joint bank account, credit card account(s), car title, registrations, insurances . . . "stuff like that." Add photos of you two on vacations and at family gatherings. Voila . . . a pound of paperwork later you can mail it off. There is usually no interview at this stage, but the USCIS is required to invite one out of 10 patients randomly for statistical reasons, so you may get lucky after all. If my crystal ball didn't work this time and you have a 10-year Green Card, all you need is to mail in an I-90 for $450 and you'll get yourself a shiny new card in 3 to 6 months. P.S. If that's really you in the photo . . .wow. Just wow!
I am a permanent US resident, but my Green Card expired 30 years ago and I've never renewed it. Can my renewal application be rejected for this?
As long as you’ve stayed in possession of the card, you’re probably OK: the law requires that an alien retain in their possession any “alien registration document” issued to them by immigration officials, which you’ve done if you hung onto your green card. The fact that it’s expired means it’s no longer valid for identification or for entry, but it’s still the most recent “alien registration document” issued to you.I’d definitely suggest that you use a lawyer for the process for renewing the card. It’s unfortunate that you didn’t renew it six months ago, before the Giant Cheeto took over the government; it’s hard to predict how the present administration will decide to deal with people whose behavior is even slightly irregular in areas such as this one. Sadly, one of the major impacts of the new administration is to sow a great deal of uncertainty for resident aliens in the US.
Is a US resident obliged to surrender his green card if he no longer plans to live in the US?
The main legal consequence to actually abandoning US residence after having been admitted as a lawful permanent resident, without completing the administrative formality of abandonment, is that the former LPR remain a US resident for tax purposes and must continue to file US tax returns until the LPR status is actually terminated either administratively or judicially.In addition, the former LPR will not be able to visit the United States for any purpose. An LPR may enter the United States only by presenting their currently-valid green green card or a current and valid reentry permit. An LPR may not apply for a visa of any sort (other than a "returning resident visa") or enter via the visa waiver program, even if they would otherwise be entitled to do so on the basis of their citizenship, until their LPR is formally abandoned. Since a green card is invalid for entry if the holder has actually abandoned their residence, this leaves the former LPR unable to enter the United States for any purpose. Formally abandoning permanent residence promptly will avoid this consequence.There is no fee to file Form I-407 and this form can be filed by mail or in person at any US embassy, US consulate, US port of entry, or USCIS international field office; there is therefore no good reason for someone who has chosen to abandon residence to not complete this formality.
I am a US permanent resident who overstayed in another country for 11 months due to medical issues. Will I be granted entry to the United States?
As a permanent resident you can reenter the US1.Before being outside for one year or longer, or two years if you obtain a permit to reenter (form I131)AND (not or)2. The government does not conclude from the evidence presented that you intended to abandon your permanent residence. In determining your intent, the government rebuttably presumes that if you stayed outside for less than six months you did not intend to abandon your permanent residence. If you stayed outside for more than six months, the government rebuttably presumes that you did intend to abandon your residence. If the evidence shows your absence for eleven months was for unexpected medical issues then it is likely that you will successfully rebut the presumption of abandonment and will be allowed to resume permanent residence. In contrast, if the evidence shows you sold your property and resigned your job before leaving, and bought a house and got a job overseas, then it is likely you will be denied entry even if you were out for less than six months.Ironically, overstaying in another country might help you to reenter the US because unless overstaying is a crime (which could be a different ground for exclusion), being an overstay would indicate the lack of intention to abandon your US residence. It would be much more difficult to reenter the US if you had applied for permanent residence in the country you were in.
When will my green card be revoked if I’m outside the US?
Green card and permanent residency are two things. Green card is proof of your permanent residency. You can have other proof of permanent residency, such as I-551 temporary evidence stamp on your passport (usually people use it if you do not have time to renew your green card) or re-entry permit ( see below).Your green card can not be used for re-entry if you are outside country for 1 or more years. If you plan to travel for more than 1 year, you can have re-entry permit which is issued up to 2 years.If you are out of country for more than 1 year, as this due to factors that out of control ( such as you are very sick or kidnapped or jailed) and can not use your green card to enter US, you can go to US embassy / consulate and get a special visa called SB-1 visa ( returning resident visa), where you need proof of circumstances to convince a consular that you have not abandoned your permanent residency and circumstances beyond your control.Your permanent residency is valid unless the officer in port of entry sees you travel record and ask you to voluntarily sign form I-407 or if you did not sign, you get to immigration judge and judge can decide.
Whats the difference between a Visa, Passport and a Green Card?
if you were to visit or move for a long amount of time, u should get a green card because I dont think green card expires. visas are stamped onto a passport and there is a time limit to your staying at the country. I want to move too, not to another country though, just out to the wilderness...far far away, live off nature, cut off all contact with society, and make my food hunting and growing fruits.. and i might want to build my own house or cave, and wake up everyday going for a walk on nature's trail and swim in the river and go fishing. the smell of the forest and gentle calm breeze of nature enough to clean my spirit. thats one choice, or... I could move to a small town somewhere next to the ocean, and start a new life.
