Page 1, What Is the Purpose of This Form?	What Is the Purpose of This Form? Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, is used by permanent residents to apply for a replacement or renewal of existing Permanent Resident Cards. This form may also be used by conditional permanent residents to apply for a replacement of an existing Permanent Resident Card; however, conditional permanent residents must not use this form to apply for an extension or renewal of their status. NOTE:  Conditional permanent residents who obtained such status through marriage or entrepreneurship and wish to petition to remove the conditions on their residence must not use Form I-90. To remove these conditions, follow these instructions: 1. If you became a conditional resident through marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and your conditional status is expiring within the next 90 days file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence; or 2. If you became a conditional resident based on a financial investment in a U.S. business, file Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions.	What Is the Purpose of This Application? This application is used by lawful permanent residents and permanent residents in commuter status to apply for replacement or renewal of existing Permanent Resident Cards. Conditional permanent residents may also use this application may also be used by conditional permanent residents to apply for replacement of an existing Permanent Resident Card. Conditional permanent residents may not use this application to replace, for any reason, an existing Permanent Resident Card that is expired or will expire within 90 days. NOTE:  Conditional permanent residents (for example: CR1, CR2, CF1, CF2) who obtained their status through marriage or entrepreneurship are issued a Permanent Resident Card for two years. When a conditional permanent resident's status is within 90 days of expiration, the conditional permanent resident is ineligible for a replacement conditional resident card and must file a petition to remove the conditions, as follows: 1. If you became a conditional permanent resident through marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and your two-year conditional permanent resident status is expiring within the next 90 days, file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence; or 2. If you became a conditional permanent resident based on the creation of a new commercial enterprise and a financial investment in the United States, and your conditional permanent resident status is expiring within the next 90 days, file Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions. Upon receipt of your properly filed Forms I-751 or I-829, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) shall extend your conditional permanent resident status automatically, if necessary, until such time as USCIS has adjudicated the petition. The Form I-797 Receipt Notice for such a pending petition will serve as your proof of conditional permanent resident status.

Examples include: 1. If you are unable to use your hands, you may be permitted to take the test orally rather than in writing; 2. If you are hearing-impaired, you may be provided with a sign-language interpreter at an interview or other application related appointment; or 3. For those unable to travel to a designated USCIS location for an interview, you may be visited at your home or a hospital. If you believe that you need USCIS to accommodate your disability and/or impairment, check the "Yes" box and then check any applicable box in 1.a. - 1.c. that describes the nature of your disability(ies) and/or impairment(s). Also, write the type(s) of accommodation(s) you are requesting on the line(s) provided. If you are requesting a sign-language interpreter, be sure to indicate for which language.

(See General Instructions, “How To Fill Out Form I-90,” item 2.)… NOTE: All domestic USCIS facilities meet the Accessibility Guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act, so you do not need to contact USCIS to request an accommodation for physical access to a domestic USCIS office. However, on Part 4. of the form, you can indicate whether you use a wheelchair. This will allow USCIS to better prepare for your visit and have a wheelchair accessible interview room available for you once you enter the facility. USCIS considers requests for accommodations on a case-by-case basis and will use its best efforts to reasonably accommodate all applicants with disabilities or impairments. Qualified individuals will not be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, USCIS programs solely on the basis of their disability(ies) or impairment(s). Requesting and/or receiving an accommodation will not affect your eligibility for a USCIS benefit.	[Page 8] [Specific Instructions section continued] Part 4. Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities and/or Impairments USCIS is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and/or impairments that will help them fully participate in USCIS programs and benefits.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, USCIS may provide you with a sign-language interpreter at an interview or other immigration benefit-related appointment; 2. If you are blind or have low vision, USCIS may permit you to take a test orally rather than in writing; or 3. If you are unable to travel to a designated USCIS location for an interview, USCIS may visit you at your home or a hospital.

NOTE: USCIS also ensures that limited English proficient (LEP) individuals are provided meaningful access at an interview or other immigration benefit-related appointment, unless otherwise prohibited by law.  LEP individuals may bring a qualified interpreter to the interview. USCIS considers requests for reasonable accommodations on a case-by-case basis, and we will make our best efforts to reasonably accommodate your disabilities and/or impairments. USCIS will not exclude you from participating in USCIS programs or deny your application because of your disabilities and/or impairments. Requesting and/or receiving an accommodation will not affect your eligibility for an immigration benefit. For hearings before the Immigration Court: The Immigration Court is committed to addressing the needs of individuals with disabilities and/or impairments. If your case is pending before the Immigration Court, you should notify the court of any such need before your first hearing with an immigration judge. The Immigration Court considers all requests to address such needs on a case-by-case basis. Interpreters are provided at government expense to individuals whose command of the English language is inadequate to fully understand and participate in removal proceedings.  In general, the Immigration Court endeavors to accommodate the language needs of all respondents and witnesses.  The Immigration Court will arrange for an interpreter both during the individual calendar hearing and, if necessary, the master calendar hearing.
