When To File A Form I-90 In Arizona?

If you're an immigrant in Phoenix and your green card is expiring, you'll need to file a Form I-90 to renew your green card.. Valid green cards last for 10 years.

You should begin the I-90 application form 6 months before your green card is set to expire.

If your green card was lost, stolen, or destroyed, you should order a replacement as soon as possible.

What Is The Application Process For An I-90 Green Card Renewal?

There are a few steps involved in filing a Form I-90 for a green card renewal. These include the following:

Fill out the Form I-90 from USCIS

Gather your supporting documents. Some examples of what you may need to submit include a copy of the expired green card, a government issued ID, proof of US residence, or others.

Submit your Form I-90 and your supporting documents online with a USCIS account or by mail.

Pay any required government fees.

Receive a receipt notice that confirms USCIS has received your application and often contains an extension of your green card validity.

Receive a biometric letter within 2 to 4 weeks, if they are unable to recapture your prior biometrics.. This will tell you where and when USCIS will take your fingerprints, photo, etc. if necessary.

Receive a Request For Evidence letter if the USCIS needs any other supporting material.

Receive a decision letter stating whether or not your renewal has reached approval.

Receive the physical green card by US mail.

What Information Does The Form I-90 Request?

When your green card is expiring or you've lost your current one, you'll need to fill out a Form I-90.

The application form asks for specific information to verify your status. Some of this information is:

Alien registration number found on your green card

Date of admission and date of birth

Mailing and physical addresses

Where you originally obtained your green card–whether at a consular office or a USCIS field office.

If you need help filling out your I-90 application, a knowledgeable immigration attorney can offer guidance and strategy.

‍

What If Your Form I-90 Application Gets Rejected?

While it isn't likely, some I-90 applications do get denied. Some common reasons for this include providing inaccurate information on your I-90, filing the I-90 incorrectly, or being convicted of crimes that render you deportable from the United States.

If this happens to you, there are a few steps you can take to receive approval. These are as follows:‍

1. Submit A Motion To Reconsider - You can submit a motion to reconsider to the USCIS. You must show proof and facts that verify they were incorrect to deny your green card renewal.

2. Seek An Immigration Attorney - I-90 rejections can be complicated and overwhelming. An equipped immigration attorney can assist you and file all necessary documents to put you in the best position for your application to get approved.
