📋 7-Step I-90 Renewal Process
You can renew if your card expires within 6 months, has already expired, or if your card was damaged, lost, or contains incorrect information.
You’ll need your current green card, government-issued photo ID, and two passport-style photos. If your card was lost/stolen, you may need a police report.
Create a USCIS online account and file electronically at uscis.gov. Online filing is faster and allows you to track your case status.
The total cost is $465 ($410 filing fee + $85 biometrics fee). Fee waivers are available for those who qualify based on income.
USCIS will mail you a receipt notice (I-797C) within 2-3 weeks. This extends your green card validity for 24 months and serves as temporary proof of status.
Visit your local USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for fingerprinting and photos. Bring your appointment notice and current green card.
Your new green card will be mailed to you. Make sure your address is current with USCIS. The new card will be valid for another 10 years.
