Green Card Renewal
The process of renewing a 10-year green card via Form I-90.
A 10-year green card can be renewed in the 6 months before its expiration via Form I-90. Conditional green cards (2-year) are not "renewed" — they are removed via Form I-751. Renewal does not change the holder's status; it only updates the physical card.
