Document preparation for green card applications, renewals, and adjustments

Quick answer

Green card document preparation helps permanent residents and eligible applicants organize renewal, replacement, adjustment of status, and removal of conditions paperwork, including Forms I-90, I-485, I-751, and supporting evidence.

Which green card documents do you need?

I-485 adjustment of status

For applicants applying inside the United States, we organize identity records, I-94 history, birth certificate translations, I-693 medical exam planning, I-864 support evidence, and prior approval notices.

I-90 renewal or replacement

For expired, expiring, lost, stolen, or damaged cards, we prepare I-90 records, identity documents, name-change proof when needed, and receipt-notice tracking notes.

I-751 removal of conditions

For marriage-based conditional residents, we organize joint evidence, residence records, financial records, affidavits, filing-window notes, and waiver-support materials when relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I renew my green card?

Apply for renewal when your green card is expiring within 6 months, or if it has already expired. You can file up to 6 months before expiration.

What is a conditional green card?

A 2-year conditional green card is given to those who obtained permanent residence through marriage less than 2 years old. You must file I-751 to remove conditions.

Can I travel while my renewal is pending?

Generally yes, if you have your expired green card and the I-797 receipt notice. However, extended travel may cause issues. Consult an attorney for specific guidance.

What if I lose my green card while abroad?

You may need a Returning Resident Visa (SB-1) or a Transportation Letter. This is a complex situation - we recommend consulting with an attorney.
