Green Card Renewal

The process of green card renewal is fairly simple, but there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.

First, you need to make sure that your address is up-to-date. If it’s not, the USCIS will send your renewal application back to you for correction.

Second, if you have changed jobs or gotten married and want to update your name on your green card, then you should provide this information on the form.

Third, if you have had any arrests or criminal convictions in the last five years – even if they were dismissed – then it’s important that you disclose those as well.

Fourth, it’s a good idea to get a new passport photo taken before sending off your renewal application because the one on file with the USCIS may be outdated or unsuitable for some reason.

Fifth and finally, when mailing off your green card renewal form and supporting documents make sure that they are sent by certified mail
