I-90 processing time after biometrics

The processing time for Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Green Card), after biometrics varies depending on the USCIS workload and case complexity. Typically, applicants can expect their cases to progress within 8 to 12 months after completing the biometrics appointment. During this time, USCIS uses the biometric data to conduct background checks and finalize the green card replacement process. Delays can occur due to backlogs, request for additional evidence (RFE), or regional office processing times. Applicants can track their case status online using the USCIS receipt number and check the USCIS website for current processing times. If the wait exceeds the normal timeframe, applicants may contact USCIS for updates or seek assistance through an inquiry.
