Green card renewal is the process of applying for a new Green Card after the expiration of the previous one. Green Cards are typically valid for 10 years, after which they must be renewed to maintain lawful permanent resident status in the United States. The renewal process involves submitting an application, providing supporting documentation, and paying a fee.
Renewing a Green Card is important because it allows permanent residents to continue living and working in the United States. Without a valid Green Card, permanent residents may be subject to deportation or other penalties. Additionally, a Green Card is required for certain benefits, such as Social Security and Medicare.
