Green Card/Employment Authorization Document Get New Look

On May 11, 2010, Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) began issuing a new Employment
Authorization Document (EAD), also known as
Form I-766.

USCIS has also begun issuing a redesigned Permanent
Resident Card to all individuals applying for
new, renewal or replacement cards.

New "Green Card" or Employment Authorization Document (EAD):

• will actually be colored green
• will cost $370 to renew or get your Permanent
  Resident Card (as of August 2010)
• Permanent Resident Cards will be replaced with the new (green) version when your Card expires.
• If you have an older Green Card WITHOUT an expiration
  date, apply for a replacement card.
  

For Employers:

• Green Cards and EADS are just two kinds of documents that
  can establish work authorization.
• An Employer must never demand to see a
  lawful permanent resident's Green Card or an EAD.
• Every legally authorized worker has the right to
  choose which documents to present during the employment
  eligibility verification (Form I-9) process,
  regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
