Green Card Extension ?

[marknir 12]

Hi All

 

I was wondering if someone can tell me how to get an extension on my green card.

 

I have been in line for an interview for some time and my card and drivers license expire in April.   How soon should I apply and is this done through InfoPass?

 

Thank you

seems like you just need to renew your green card (form i-90) or you may be able to do it online.

you can't there isn't an extension of the GC while awaiting citizenship

 

you must renew your 10 year GC which may take 6 or more months, or let it expire and wait for naturalization

 

as said, the renewal is filed with the i90 form, and can be done online

Thanks, I am not going to renew it at this point. I just wondered as I have seen people mention an extension letter?

actually....not completely true.  we had to get a stamp on the expiring passport while we wait citizenship...and this stamp is good for one year.  We got this last week

if you are going to file for citizenship....and your GC expires within 6 months of filing...you can get a one year extension on your GC.  we did it.

I applied more than 6 months before they expire and the rules say that I did not need to renew my GC......

 

I guess the process was faster when that was written!
