259 Do I have to replace my Green Card?
FACT SHEET FROM INS
***********************
Green Card Replacement Program
All old I-151 Cards Expire March 20, 1996
Permanent resident aliens with an old Form I-151 Green Card, issued
before 1979, must obtain a new card, Form I-551 Alien Registration Receipt
Card, to maintain evidence of resident status. The old Form I-151 will no
longer be valid after March 20, 1996.
The INS is urging those lawful permanent residents, who are in need of
the new card and have not yet applied, to do so as soon as possible to
avoid any possible confusion about their legal permanent resident status
after March 20, 1996.
