Just e-filed I90.

[chi32]

hello everyone,

just e-filed I90 for replacement. My card is due to expire in 2 years, however i decided to change it anyway, and chose option J on the form, which is :my card is an older version...". I know that last year USCIS decided to issue a new design of the card.
Anyway, now i have some questions (maybe it would've been a good idea to ask questions first and the file ... LOL), what happends at ASC when i go in for fingerprints, are they going to take away my green card or cut it, then i'm gonna hve to wait for a new one to come in? Like i said, it's good for 2 years still and i need it for travelling.Someone said that they cut it in half, is that true?

Also, the processing times says 3.5 months, is this accurate?

Thanks a lot.

I never heard of ASC cutting a GC in half. When I used to work in a job where I had to check IDs, I seen some that had extension stickers on them. One customer told me the sticker was put on by ASC because the card was about to expire, and in theory the sticker extended the card till the new one came in the mail.

In terms of processing times, I believe it is 2.5 months. However, you are a LPR with a "valid" card so you should be able to use your old card till the new comes in the mail.
