Lawful permanent residents who properly file Form I-90 to renew an expiring or expired Permanent Resident Card may receive this extension. Form I-90 receipt notices previously provided a 12-month extension of the validity of a Permanent Resident Card.
USCIS has updated the language on Form I-90 receipt notices to extend the validity of a Permanent Resident Card for 24 months for individuals with a newly filed Form I-90. On September 26, USCIS began printing amended receipt notices for individuals with a pending Form I-90.
These receipt notices can be presented with an expired Permanent Resident Card as evidence of continued status. This extension is expected to help applicants experiencing longer processing times, as they will receive proof of lawful permanent resident status while awaiting their renewed Permanent Resident Card.
If you no longer have your Permanent Resident Card and need evidence of your lawful permanent resident status while waiting to receive your replacement card, you may request an appointment at a USCIS Field Office by contacting the USCIS Contact Center, and we may issue you an Alien Documentation, Identification, and Telecommunications (ADIT) stamp after you file Form I-90.

If your mailing address changes while your case is pending, please update it through your USCIS Online Account, if you have one.
