Re-entry permit

Common questions

The most common questions about green card.

Is my status gone if my green card expires?

No — the card is proof, not the status itself. An expired card still needs replacing for work and travel, and Form I-90 is the application that does it. The free check shows what your renewal needs.

What is a re-entry permit?

A travel document from Form I-131 that protects a green card during long trips abroad, generally for up to two years. You must be in the U.S. when you file, and its page explains the path.

What is an I-94, and why would I replace it?

The I-94 is your arrival record, and employers and USCIS forms ask for it. Most recent arrivals can print theirs from the CBP website — if yours is lost or was never issued, Form I-102 replaces it.
