What are the Government fees to apply to replace your permanent resident card or renew your Green Card With Wizard Visa.
The government fees normally associated with the submission of Form I-90 are:
Permanent residents can renew their Green Cards every 10 years by using Form I-90.
You must file your Green Card renewal/replacement application form six months before the expiration date listed on your Green Card. You cannot file Form I-90 more than six months in advance. File Form I-90 immediately if your Green Card has already expired. If you hold an earlier version of a Green Card that does not contain an expiration date, the USCIS strongly advises you to apply for a replacement using Form I-90.
Apart from renewals, you can also use Form I-90 to replace a valid Green Card in the following situations:
Form I-90 should NOT be used to renew a Conditional Permanent Resident status. 90 days prior to the two-year expiration date, Conditional Permanent Residents are required to file a petition to "remove the conditions" from their Green Card. If your conditional status was based on a marriage, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. If your conditional status was based on being an investor, you must file Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status. Upon the approval of your petition, you will receive a new Green Card, valid for 10 years. The regular renewal process (including Form I-90) should be used from that point on.
Applications for Green Card Renewal/Replacement can be denied for several reasons. Two of the most frequent causes are criminal activity and adjustment of the immigrant category.
Criminal activity means that you have been convicted of a crime and, for that reason, is no longer considered a valuable asset to American society. This usually applies to significant crimes such as felonies. Minor offenses like speeding tickets should not affect your Green Card Renewal/Replacement application status.
Adjustment of the immigrant category means that the reason why you were granted a green card is no longer applicable. For example, if you were granted a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. citizen but have since gotten divorced, your application for a Green Card can be denied.
If your Green Card Renewal/Replacement application was denied, you can appeal to the USCIS for a different decision. You may submit a motion to reopen or reconsider with the same office that denied your application. USCIS will then reexamine your case and reconsider their decision.
In the motion to reopen or reconsider your Green Card Renewal/Replacement, make sure to provide enough evidence that your application was wrongfully denied and the reason why USCIS should reconsider your status.
Section 264(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) requires all lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to have "at all times" official evidence of LPR status. Failing to have your green card with you is a misdemeanor and if you are found guilty you can be fined up to $100 and put in jail for up to 30 days. This means that if you are an immigrant, you must always carry your Green Card with you.
