Green Card Renewal

My husbands greencard expires the 20th of September, so I planned on sending in the paperwork early June, does it HAVE to be after June 20th, or can it be a week or two before the exact 90 days?

From what I understand, they need to receive it within the 90 day period. If they get it early they will send it back.

The reason why you have to send it within the 90 days is to give them time to receive the petition and send the applicant the NOA in time. So if you send it a couple of days before it expires, your husband will have an expired green card in his hands with no NOA which its purpose is to extend it for another year.

No, if you send it a day early, they will return it and inform you that it was received too early.

Make sure they receive it within 90 days from expiration.

It is 90 days not 3 mos. so the window opens on 6/22 not 6/20 for a GC that expires on 9/20

YMMV

Thanks but my question was if I can send it before the 90 day window opens. I was wondering If I have to wait for it to arrive exactly 90 days before or if I can send it a little earlier.

You were given the right answer - if you send on 95th day, they'll return it, send in on 91st day, they'll return it. Send it on 90th or lower day and they'll accept it.
