Longer Automatic Extension Granted for Green Card Renewals

10/03/24

Author: ADP Admin/Tuesday, October 1, 2024/Categories: Compliance Corner , Federal Compliance Update

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has automatically extended the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (also known as Green Cards) to 36 months for lawful permanent residents who file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. 

This extension is expected to help applicants who experience longer processing times, because they will receive proof of lawful permanent resident status as they await their renewed Green Card.


The Details


Lawful permanent residents who properly file Form I-90 to renew an expiring or expired Green Card may receive this extension.


Form I-90 receipt notices had previously provided a 24-month extension of the validity of a Green Card.


USCIS has updated the language on Form I-90 receipt notices to extend the validity of a Green Card for 36 months. On September 10, 2024, USCIS began printing amended receipt notices for individuals with a pending Form I-90. 


For Form I-9 purposes, these receipt notices can be presented with an expired Green Card as evidence of continued status and employment authorization. Note that if a Green Card subsequently expires during employment (versus at the time of hire) then re-verification is generally not required unless the documents presented by the employee are deemed temporary in nature.   Review more details here.

Next Steps

·      Read updated guidance on the I-90.

·      Train individuals involved in the hiring process on the change.
