    Default Is an Old Resident Alien Card, Form I-551, Still Valid

    A permanent resident holds a resident alien card from 1981, Form I-551, that has no expiration date. Is that Green Card still valid?

    LPR status does not expire, but a Green Card does expire. The LPR should have received a notice some years ago, instructing him or her to obtain a replacement card. The LPR should now apply for a replacement card, ASAP. The delay in seeking a replacement may result in questions about why the replacement was not sought at an earlier date, and to confirm that the LPR remains entitled to that status.
