New passport after getting residency?

[jb90304]

I recently gotten my residency in the US but not the citizenship.
I was undocumented in US for many years until now and still technically the citizen of my home country, so I still hold my home country's passport obviously.
Do I need to renew my home country's passport in any way?

Do I need to renew my home country's passport in any way?

Unless you were granted the permanent residency as a result of your asylum claim, I would advise to renew your home country passport. The Green Card allows you to re-enter the USA, but it cannot be used as a universal travel document. Plus, in case you loose the Green Card, you can ask for a temporary I-551 stamp in the passport that serves as a temporary permanent residency permit. If you do not have a passport and loose the GC, you will be stuck and will not even be able to prove your permanent residency status while your I-90 is being processed.

I lost the GC and had to file I-90. I also asked for a temporary I-551 stamp in the passport which I used to prove my right to work in the USA and to travel to Canada for a vacation. As you can see, the home country passport can be a very useful document.

Old passport doesn't matter. They hold the documents since your entered the country. You can wait a little before expiration.

you do not need to have passport. even you file your naturalization.
you only need it when you are entering USA with your GC.
