Green Card Renewal: Maintaining Lawful Permanent Residence
A green card renewal is essential for maintaining proof of your lawful permanent resident (LPR) status in the United States. They are typically valid for 10 years and one must renew green card before expiration using Form I-90. The attorneys at J&F Law, APC assist clients in ensuring that renewal applications are filed correctly and on time.

Renewing your green card on time is not only a legal requirement but also essential for maintaining employment eligibility, reentry rights, and other privileges as a permanent resident.

For green card holders who need to stay outside the U.S. for extended periods, a reentry permit is critical. This document helps preserve permanent resident status and avoids being considered as having abandoned residency.
