USCIS Extends Validity of Expired Permanent Resident Cards from 12 Months to 24 Months for Renewals
As of Sept. 26, USCIS has further extended the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (PRC) from 12 months to 24 months for lawful permanent residents who have filed Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, to renew their PRC. Individuals newly filing Form I-90 will receive a Form I-797 receipt notice with the 24-month automatic extension. Individuals who have a pending application will receive an amended receipt notice with the 24-month automatic extension before the initial 12-month extension period expires.
When completing Form I-9, new employees may present an expiring or expired PRC with this receipt notice as a List A document that extends the PRC for 24 months from the Card Expires date on the front of the card. Employers may not reverify current employees who presented this document combination with the original 12-month extension when they originally completed Form I-9.

“While today’s decision is deeply disappointing, it does not change current USCIS operations. Consistent with the court’s order, USCIS will continue to accept and process DACA renewal requests, and continue to accept but not process initial DACA requests.

WASHINGTON— Building on extensive modernization efforts that have streamlined and improved access to work permits for eligible noncitizens, USCIS today announced a temporary final rule (TFR) to increase the automatic extension period for certain employment authorization documents (EADs) from up to 180 days to up to 540 days. This announcement follows improvements that have reduced processing times for EADs significantly over the past year.
The temporary measure announced today will prevent already work-authorized noncitizens from having their employment authorization and documentation lapse while waiting for USCIS to adjudicate their pending EAD renewal applications and better ensure continuity of operations for U.S. employers. This is the latest step by the Biden-Harris Administration to get work-authorized individuals into the workforce, supporting the economies where they live.
