How many times can you renew your Green Card?
How many times can you renew your green card? You can renew or replace your Green Card as many times as you need to. You should generally renew at the end of the validity period or six months before it expires. You can also replace your Green Card if you lose it.
In addition, if you lose your card a lot and are applying many times, for a renewal, you might make USCIS suspicious about your behavior. This happens because, Green Card fraud is very common, and irregular green card renewal activity on your part may make USCIS suspect that you are committing green card fraud. This will make it harder for you to prove your case with USCIS and get a new green card in the future.
If you have to replace your Green Card several times, we recommend submitting a letter explaining exactly what happened each time so that USCIS doesn’t have as much reason to be suspicious.
What happens after you submit your Green Card renewal application?
Once U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has received your Green Card renewal application, two important steps follow before you receive your document.
First, you’ll get a receipt notice from USCIS, which means USCIS will notify you that they have received your Green Card renewal application. USCIS will send you a receipt notice called the Form I-797C, Notice of Action to the mailing address listed on your Form I-90. The receipt notice will contain a 13-character receipt number (3 letters and ten numbers) that you can use to track the status of your renewal application.
Next step, you’ll get a “biometrics” notification from USCIS, which means USCIS will also send you a notice for a biometrics appointment about two weeks after they receive your Green Card renewal application. The biometrics appointment notice will inform you of a date, place, and time to have your fingerprints, signature, and photo taken.
If you’re applying to renew your Green Card from outside the United States, your biometrics appointment will be at the U.S. consulate or embassy closest to you. If you’re renewing your Green Card while in the United States, your biometrics appointment will be at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) near you.
