U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Friday that it would automatically extend the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (Green Cards) for lawful permanent residents who have applied for naturalization.
Key Points:
Background: Up until now, naturalization applicants who filed for naturalization within six months of their Green Card expiration had to file Form I-90 to maintain their lawful status. Applicants who filed for naturalization more than six months before their Green Card expiration were given an Alien Documentation, Identification, and Telecommunications (ADIT) stamp in their passport, which served as temporary evidence of lawful permanent residence. USCIS said the updated policy “recognizes USCIS’ current processing times, while improving flexibility and efficiency” by reducing the number of Form I-90 applications and ADIT stamp appointments.
