These candidates will receive the new extension regardless of whether they have previously filed a Form I-90 <strong>green card renewal application<\/strong>. For these applicants, USCIS will update the language on Form N-400 receipt notices. To allow for a<strong> 24-month extension<\/strong> of their green cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>N-400 receipt notice<\/strong>s issued with the new automatic extension may be presented with an expired green card. As evidence of continued legal permanent resident <strong>(LPR) status<\/strong>, according to USCIS&#8217;s announcement of the new policy. USCIS is expected to update its M-274 Handbook for Employers, to reflect the change for purposes of <strong>Form I-9 employment eligibility verification.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Green Card Validity for Naturalization Candidates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As they wait for the USCIS to decide on their Form N-400 applications. Naturalization applicants whose<strong> green cards <\/strong>are about to expire will no longer be required to take any additional steps. To show that they are still <strong>legal permanent residents <\/strong>of the United States. Naturalization candidates with <strong>expired green cards <\/strong>were required, under the previous policy. To either submit a Form I-90 renewal application (for those who filed Form N-400 less than <strong>six months<\/strong> before their green card expiration date). Or visit a local USCIS office to obtain a <strong>passport stamp<\/strong> proving their LPR status. (For those who filed Form N-400 at least six months before their green card expiration date). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These applicants shouldn&#8217;t have to take these <strong>additional steps<\/strong> with the new automatic extension of 24 months. Also, if the <strong>LPR&#8217;s naturalization application<\/strong> isn&#8217;t approved by the end of the two-year extension period. The individual might still visit a nearby USCIS office to request a passport stamp evidencing their ongoing <strong>LPR status<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-right\">Also, Check [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.h1btransfersusa.com\/blog\/us-recommends-including-aged-out-kids-in-parents-green-card-application\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">The presidential commission recommends including aged-out kids in parents\u2019 Green Card application<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The USCIS&#8217; lengthy <strong>Form I-90 processing times <\/strong>have sometimes caused disruptions to a permanent resident\u2019s ability.
