Renew Green Card

[Aaron and Marina 24]

Hello all! I just thougt of a new question I'm sure this is posted somewhere, but can't seem to find something...

After conditions are lifted via the I-751, is the GC good forever, or has to renewed? If so, every 10 years is it? Also if so, do you use the I-90, or this is only for a lost card? Or is it somethign else, and how much is the fee? Biometrics as usual?

Easy stuff...I'm sure a whole lot of people can answer this quickly.

Thanks!

Hello,

It is good for 10 years and you have to renew it (every 10 years). The form use is I-90 it cost $450 and yes biometrics as usual is needed. When you go for biometrics they take a picture of you and also stamp your old green card with an extension of about 6-9 months so you can travel with no problem in case you have an emergency or something. It takes about 3 months when you renew it to receive your new Green Card by mail.

Man, that sucks! 10 years isn't so bad though...probably better to just go the N-400 route though and skip renewing since both cost about the same and then it's done done.

Thanks for the detailed response brotha!

I totally agree with you. My green card should expire in 2015 but last year I decided to complete the N-400 form instead of renewing my green, it cost $680 and good forever except for the passport that is only good for 10 years and cost $135.

Yeah but either way you'd have to pay for a passport...either US or for you one for DR.

Speaking of which, the first time my wife and I actually met was in Punta Cana!!! It was great! ! But I think we also picked the right area...hotel...it was the perfect time, surroundings, everything. We're going back in Christmas, and her parents will also fly there from Russia.

Yes, you are correct about the passport renewal.

Wow, I am glad you had a great time there. I am planing to visit Punta Cana when I go to my husband's interview hopefully this year. That's great, I'm sure you all will enjoy it.

It is good for 10 years. If you want to renew it, then you have to file I-90. You will ask to do biometric, photo again and it will take 7 months to have GC now ( not 3 months ). It is better to file N-400.
