Now you can live in the USA for 3 years with an expired green card without losing your status

Effective September 10, 2024, USCIS automatically extended the validity of green cards to 36 months for green card holders who apply for a replace green card (Form I-90).

Previously, the USCIS notification of receipt of your Form I-90 extended your green card for 2 years.

USCIS has extended the validity of green cards for 36 months from the expiration date printed on the front of the green card.

Effective September 10, 2024, USCIS has already sent out amended I-90 receipt notices to individuals who are awaiting review. These receipt notices can be presented with your expired green card as proof of continued status in the USA and work authorization.

If you have not an expired green card, for example, you have lost it, you can contact the USCIS contact center to schedule an appointment at the USCIS office closest to you. At the appointment, you will be given an ADIT stamp, which will confirm your status in the United States until you receive a new green card.
