May 14, 2021

renew us green card As a trusted green card attorney in Tampa Florida, The Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates knows our way around the green card application and renewal processes. If you have one, you don’t want to let it expire.

Don’t Let Your Green Card Expire

Your green card is proof that you’re able to legally and lawfully live and work in the United States. If you let your green card expire, you do not lose your status as a permanent resident. The card is your proof. By law, you’re supposed to carry it on your person at all times. In some places, not carrying it comes with misdemeanor charges. Criminal charges on your record can hinder you from obtaining citizenship.

How to Renew Your Green Card

Begin the application process, ideally within six months of the card expiring:

Apply for your green card online or through the mail.
Gather the necessary documents. You’ll need a copy of your current green card.
Pay any filing fees required. If you need a fee waiver, you’ll need to apply via mail. Follow all instructions to pay the cost otherwise.
Submit your biometrics when prompted to do so.
Submit your application.

How a Tampa FL Green Card Attorney can Help

If you’re worried about filling out the forms correctly or if your green card has already expired, consider having a Tampa FL immigration attorney help you with this process.

This becomes even more important if you’ve had any kinds of criminal charges appear on your record since your last green card application. Not all crimes will get you deported. We can work with you to help you word your application correctly and or possibly mitigate any negative repercussions.

What Our Clients Say

Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Robert Eckard & Associates

Great experience working with Mr Eckard . Very professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Always a pleasure dealing with the people here. The front office staff (Jody B) is exceptional with her service and demeanor!

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.
