The USCIS issued a statement on Wednesday that from September 26, applicants who have submitted an I-90 green card extension/update application, but have not received a new green card for a long time, will be automatically extended for two years.

U.S. Immigration Bureau (USCIS) announced a statement on Wednesday that has submitted an I-90 green card extension/update application for I-90 green card, but has not received a new green card for a long time. old green card will automatically extend the validity period for 2 years . As long as the green card holder who submits an I-90 application before the green card expires, regardless of whether the current green card is about to expire or has expired, it will automatically be extended by 24 months on the basis of the original expiration date.

As we all know, since a large number of staff from the Immigration Bureau were sent to deal with the illegal immigration problem that influx of borders, it not only caused the normal legal immigration procedures to stagnate, but also severely affected the regular document updates. The extension of work card and green card extensions originally took only three months at most, but now it lasts for half a year or even one year. Applicants are very anxious, especially work card holders. If the employer does not trust enough, the work card may be fired. The same is true for

green card. The US green card is valid for 10 years. When it expires, you need to update the green card. If the green card is not renewed for a long time, it means that you cannot leave the country. Otherwise, you may be deported because the green card expires.

In order to solve the problem of inefficiency caused by the "long-term accumulation of the United States + the serious impact of the Trump era + the new crown epidemic" and eliminate the backlog of applications, the Immigration Bureau has spared no effort to simplify various aspects of various applications over the past year.

It should be noted that the holder of conditional permanent residents cannot directly apply for the update of the green card through the I-90 form, but must obtain a long-term green card before applying for the update through the I-90 form when the above situation occurs.
