Welcome
Information for holders of a Green Card without expiration date
Should you not be able to provide a valid visa or valid Green Card (10 year validity), the following documentation to prove your current residence status is accepted:
- German passport with your last entry stamp (no older than 3 months)
- I-551/Green Card stamp in the German passport that confirms the validity of the Green Card (to be requested from the USCIS Office; the German passport must still be valid)
- letter from US immigration office (USCIS.gov) stating that you still have permanent resident status and did not acquire US citizenship
- order confirmation of a new Green Card: According to US authorities, all Green Card holders were invited to exchange their Green Cards. The application for a new Green Card can be done online at USCIS.gov.. After payment for a new Green Card (approx. USD 450.00), an order confirmation will be issued that can be presented when applying for the German passport.
