You have to renew your green card if you are a
permanent resident with a Form I-551 valid for 10 years and a card which is
expired or about to expire within the next 6 months. If you are leaving the
United State for 12 months or more and you do not wish to lose your permanent
resident status while re-entering the country you have to renew the about to
expire green card.
In certain situations when you are abroad for a
longer duration of time and you did not have this permission, you can apply for
an SB-1 visa for Green Card holders to return to the United States. You
must contact a professional green card lawyer
in Houston to learn more about this.
Process of renewal of your green card can begin
either from online E- filing of Form I-90 to replace your green card or
by Filing a paper Form I-90 to replace PR card through the mail. Then
finally paying the renewal green card fee.
You can track or manage your green card renewal
case through a USCIS online account. The advantages of having such account are;
receiving notifications and case updates, status checking, responding to
requests for evidence and managing/updating your personal information. A green card lawyer in Houston can manage
all of their clients’ Form I-90 applications at one place via USCIS online
account.
Before you attempt to
file Form I-90, you must contact the nearest USCIS office, U.S. port of
entry, or U.S. Consulate if you are outside the US and your green card expires
which you did not renew before your departure.
