Good news, received new 10 year green card after waiting 9.25 months. Applied in September for i 90 replacement. Much faster than expected! My question is I applied online and it didn't ask me to return the 2 year green card that was sent in error? Where do I send it back or do I keep it until applying for citizenship in a few years when eligible?

My GC was lost in mail. I90 applied in Jan 2024, new GC arrived in Mar 2025.

At that point you'd get InfoPass appointment and I-551 stamp

Hi,

Read the first post:

 

 

It wasn't for AOS. OP successfully adjusted, but received wrong card. I-90 was filed to replace it.

 

10 year card renewal can be quick, but can also take 9-12 months.

I wish it took 9-12 months. It's been 19 months for me and no update yet.

Sadly, it does take a long while for some I-90.

Any plans to naturalize? Most likely, you would have been a citizen by now if you filed N-400 at the time you filed I-90. And with N-400 you would have gotten 24 months extension for your GC for free.

Thankfully extension has not been a problem as there was an automatic extension period of two years for Green Cards while Form I-90 applications are pending, that has now been increased to three years so I am good till May 2027.  Though with everything going on, having a valid card would be helpful. Can't give up my Indian citizenship yet (India doesn't allow dual citizenship) due to some property laws in India and some other matters. Once those are settled, it will be time for N-400.

I submitted an inquiry today as it has been more than 19 months since I filed i-90 for GC renewal. Got the message:

 

"Thank you for your inquiry, submitted on June 25, 2025, notifying us that your case may be outside normal processing times. We have received your request and assigned it an Inquiry ID (SRXXXXXXXXXX) that we will use for referencing any subsequent messages. USCIS may require at least 60 days to process your request." 

 

So just another inquiry ID to keep track of ¯\\(ツ)/¯ 

 

ideas?

Has anybody got any updates on their i--90s processing time? 

My USCIS account says: "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS" ("Still" is new)

"Estimated time until your case decision: 10 Months"

 

Even if this estimated time holds, it will be 32 months (July 2026) of processing time (I applied in November 2023)!!

 

Is it because of my nationality, my race or my name, anything else? I am seeing posts where folks are claiming their i-90 got approved in 2 days (White, France), two weeks (White, Canada) 🤷‍♂️

 

It really makes me wonder.

I don't see how race would be a factor.

Not everybody gets processed fast, sadly.

 

Are you planning to naturalize?

Oh, I see I asked this before

It's nothing to do with race. But you're well over average processing times, so have you submitted a case enquiry?

I did submit a case inquiry more than two months ago and haven't heard back. Tried calling USCIS customer service on 1-800-375-5283 and it just made me run in circles 😞
