Form I-90 for Ashley Residents

Ashley residents filing I-90 for work authorization, travel documents, or green card renewals submit through USCIS regional service centers — not the local field office. We prepare I-90 for residents across Central Ohio, including I-765 work permits, I-131 advance parole, and I-90 green card renewals. Most I-90 filings include a biometrics appointment at the Columbus ASC.

Our office serves Ashley applicants throughout Delaware County. Clients often come to us after receiving a USCIS notice, preparing for a family petition, renewing documents for work, or trying to understand which records must be translated before filing.

Practical Filing Guide

What this Form I-90 page helps you understand

Form I-90 is used to renew or replace a Permanent Resident Card, commonly called a green card.

Permanent residents use it when a green card is expiring, expired, lost, stolen, damaged, printed with an error, or needs updated biographic information after a name change.

We explain the difference between green card renewal, green card replacement, and conditional resident removal of conditions before preparing the form.

For lost or stolen cards, we help organize identity documents and any available police report or explanation so the packet is clear.

Green Card Replacement / Renewal

I-90 Green Card Replacement Guide for Ashley

Form I-90 is the USCIS form for renewing or replacing a Permanent Resident Card. Ashley residents use it when a green card is expiring, expired, lost, stolen, damaged, printed with an error, or needs updated information after a legal name change. This is different from Form I-751, which is for removing conditions from a two-year conditional green card.

How we organize the filing path

1

Identify why the green card is being replaced: expiration, loss, theft, damage, USCIS error, or name change.

2

Gather the current card if available, front and back, or alternate photo ID if the card is missing.

3

Prepare explanation and supporting records for lost, stolen, damaged, or corrected cards.

4

Check the mailing address carefully because USCIS notices and the replacement card depend on it.

5

Keep the I-797 receipt notice because it may extend proof of permanent resident status while the case is pending.

Records we review closely

  • Current or expired green card, front and back
  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Police report or written explanation if stolen or lost
  • Marriage certificate or court order for name change
  • Prior USCIS notices if available
  • Reliable mailing address
