## When to use it

Use when a lawful permanent resident must replace a Green Card and will file the current Form I-90 online or by mail. Do not use it to remove conditions on residence. No live task in the snapshot is that replacement application.

## How AI may be used

The tool may remind the lawyer to confirm edition 01/20/25 and the fee page, and it must not complete the application or the certification.

**AI may:**

- Remind the lawyer that a conditional resident removing conditions uses Form I-751 or Form I-829, not Form I-90
- Remind the lawyer that the fee is on the G-1055 page and that no amount was copied

**AI must not:**

- Must not complete any item on Form I-90 or draft the certification under penalty of perjury
- Must not decide why the card is being replaced
- Must not state a filing fee
- Must not sign the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The page says to use Form I-90 to replace a Green Card. Do not use it if you are a conditional resident seeking to remove conditions. Marriage conditions use Form I-751. Investor conditions use Form I-829. Form I-829 was not opened
- The edition date is 01/20/25. The page alert is the general current-edition warning. It does not state the 7 October 2026 filing-location change that is on the Form I-131 page
- The form may be filed online or by mail. A paper filing is scanned. If there is no USCIS online account, one is created. Processing continues even if that account is not used
- A lawful permanent resident must have a valid, unexpired Green Card or equivalent documentation at all times. Applying for naturalization does not change that requirement
- The fee is on uscis.gov/g-1055. No amount is copied. The opened PDF contains certifications under penalty of perjury. The extracted lines are incomplete
