Overview

• Lawful permanent residents must renew expiring 10-year cards by filing Form I-90 with USCIS, including biometrics.
• News reports cite fees of $455 for the application plus $85 for biometrics, with applicants advised to confirm current USCIS instructions and payment details.
• USCIS’s latest estimates show processing can run from roughly 7 months to more than 3 years depending on category and center.
• Illustrative timelines include 12–24 months for many family cases, 10–14 months for marriage-based filings without issues, and 1–3 years for employment-based routes, with asylees applying one year after asylum and then waiting additional months.
• Failure to renew on time can lead to problems proving status for employment and travel and may expose applicants to loss of benefits or removal proceedings.
