How is the green card renewal after EB-4?

The EB-4 visa offers a pathway for certain special categories, such as religious workers and other specific groups, to obtain permanent resident status in the United States. Once the green card is granted, holders have the same rights and obligations as other permanent residents, including regarding the renewal of the document. The green card renewal, even for those who entered through the EB-4 visa, follows the same procedure applicable to all permanent residents.

Generally, the document is valid for 10 years (in the case of the unconditional green card), and near its expiration, the holder must complete Form I-90, which can be submitted electronically or by mail to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form requests the update of personal information and a confirmation that the permanent resident status remains valid.

During the process, it is essential to pay attention to deadlines and USCIS requirements, as well as to keep all your data and documents updated. There is a current fee for the renewal, and it is important to follow the official instructions to avoid delays or problems in processing.

It is recommended to consult USCIS official channels and, if necessary, seek guidance from specialized professionals, always with caution to avoid scams or unfounded promises of infallible results. Staying informed and strictly following US immigration laws is essential to guarantee the continuity of your status. Remember that official and updated information is always the best source to guide the entire green card renewal procedure.
