Introduction: Simplifying Green Card Renewals

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched a new online system for Green Card renewals and replacements, aimed at making the I-90 application process faster and more transparent. The system allows applicants to submit forms, upload supporting documents, pay fees, and track case status entirely online.

Benefits of the Digital Portal

Early testing has shown that the online system can reduce processing time by approximately 30%. Applicants now have the ability to receive real-time updates, minimizing delays and errors caused by incomplete or misfiled paper applications. USCIS expects a smoother workflow and fewer manual interventions from officers.

Integration with Work Permit Applications

In addition to Green Cards, USCIS plans to integrate Employment Authorization Document (EAD) renewals into this system later in 2025. Applicants will be able to manage multiple application types in a single online account, simplifying document submission and payment.

User Experience Improvements

The portal also features a step-by-step guide for applicants, ensuring that all required documents are uploaded correctly. Notifications and alerts remind users of upcoming deadlines, significantly reducing missed appointments or delayed submissions.

Security Measures

USCIS has implemented robust security protocols, including encrypted submissions and secure login procedures, to protect sensitive applicant information. This initiative underscores the agency’s commitment to safe, efficient, and modern immigration services.
