New 2025 US Green Card Rules: What Lawful Permanent Residents Must Know

As of 2025, the U.S. government has introduced several critical updates to its Green Card regulations. If you are a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) or planning to become one, it's important to understand these changes to protect your status and avoid costly mistakes.

1. Updated Form I-90 Requirement

Effective May 29, 2025, USCIS mandates that Green Card holders must use the latest version of Form I-90 to apply for a replacement. This applies if your card is:

• Lost or damaged
• Expiring soon
• Missing an expiration date
• Needs updates due to personal information changes

Important: Ensure all pages are from the same edition to avoid rejection.

2. Mandatory USCIS Registration

Starting April 11, 2025, some non-citizens—including Green Card holders—must register with USCIS as part of new national security initiatives.

• Includes biometrics, background checks, and document verification
• Non-compliance may result in civil fines or criminal charges

3. Green Card Revocation Under Review

The U.S. DOJ has reinforced that Green Cards can be revoked at any time, regardless of how long you’ve held it. Stay compliant—even after decades.

4. “Gold Card” Visa for Investors

Launching in 2025, the U.S. will offer a $5 million “Gold Card” visa for high-net-worth investors. Benefits include:

• Direct path to permanent residency
• Global mobility for elite entrepreneurs

5. Social Media Screening

USCIS now monitors social media for extremist content. Posts deemed hateful may result in visa denials.

Tip: Be mindful—your online presence is now immigration evidence.
