Immigrants with an expiring green card will not lose their lawful resident status in the U.S. However, they are required to renew their card to show proof of their status, eligibility for employment, and to evade problems while reentering the country. Renewal applicants will get temporary proof of their LPR status when they go to their local INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) office. You can apply up to 6 months prior to the expiration date of the green card.
