The USCIS recently announced their new filing procedure for Green Cards. As of May 31, 2005, aliens are required to mail applications to renew or replace Permanent Resident Cards (or Green Cards) directly to the Los Angeles Lockbox. This processing facility will accelerate the collection of Green Card applications and petitions.
As of May 31, all aliens filing a Form I-90, the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, no matter their state of residence, will need to mail the applications, along with the application fee ($185) and the biometrics fee ($70) to one of the following 2 addresses:
