Beginning this September 2024, USCIS will start automatically extending the validity of lawful permanent resident cards to 36 months for permanent residents who file the Form I-90 to renew their expiring green card. Previously, a 24-month automatic extension was applied. Individuals taking advantage of this 36-month automatic extension will need to show their expired green card in addition to the Form I-90 receipt notice to take advantage of the extension for employment authorization and international travel purposes.
