Green Card Renewal Attorneys in Corpus Christi & Dallas, Texas

Your green card confirms your status as a lawful permanent resident. If you’re a non-U.S. citizen who is living and working in the United States, your green card must be up-to-date and contain accurate information about you.

Most U.S. green cards expire every ten years. To maintain your permanent residency, you must apply for a new green card before or once your card expires. If you need help with green card renewal, it is important that you consult with an experienced Texas immigration law attorney for proper guidance.

Eligibility for Renewal

Having a green card makes it possible for you to live and work in the United States legally and permanently. As a green card holder, you may be eligible for renewal if:

• Your green card has expired.

• Your green card will expire within the next six months.

• Your green card contains inaccurate information about you.

• Your green card was lost, misplaced, or damaged.

• You received your card before you were 14 years old and you are now older than 14.

• You have changed your name legally.

• Your status was converted to permanent resident status automatically.

• You are taking up actual residence in the United States.

• You didn’t receive the green card which was previously issued to you.

A knowledgeable immigration lawyer can help determine your eligibility and inform you about the best time to renew.

When Is the Right Time to Renew Your Green Card?

The right time to apply for a green card renewal often depends on your immigration status and other surrounding circumstances. Since renewal can take up to six months or even longer, holders are usually advised to start the renewal application at least six months before the expiration date. A knowledgeable attorney can educate you about the green card renewal process and help you navigate key decisions.
