Around 1 million USA green card holders have to pay US$ 370 and get their cards renewed.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a proposal that requires nearly 750,000 legal permanent residents who were issued green cards between 1977 and 1989 that lack expiration dates to replace their cards. The change will allow the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to issue more secure permanent resident cards, update cardholder information, conduct background checks and electronically store applicants' fingerprint and photographic information. The new proposal requires applicants to provide current biographic and biometric (photographs and fingerprint) information.
