An Expired Green Card Can Impact your Home Purchases

Green Card Renewal application filing package

Most banks will refuse to let you borrow without a valid green card. There is a solution!

Your green card is your proof of residency within the United States. When it expires that evidence of residency expires with it although you’re status is the country does not change. Even if your card expires you can still live and work in the United States. There are drawbacks to having an expired green card. One of those drawbacks is the fact most home lenders will not approve your application without a valid one. The process to renew the card can take months. While the home buying process relies heavily on deadlines and timing. Here are some steps to help you.

  • Apply to renew your green card: You will use Form I-90. Instead of waiting months to get your new card, there is a way to prove your residency to a lender. FileRight.com helps guide you through the process to avoid mistakes or omissions on Form I-90 that could delay the process and cost you more.
  • Once the application is in you’ll receive a receipt notice from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. This form is known as I-797. This form is proof that you’ve successfully filed to renew your green card.
  • Schedule an appointment to meet with an immigration officer at your local USCIS office. You can do that here.
  • Attend your appointment. You’ll need your green card, a valid passport, and your appointment notice. Once there you can ask the officer for an I-551 stamp for your passport. That stamp proves your residency in the United States.

Once those steps are complete you should be able to continue with your home purchase.

The most crucial part of the process is being able to complete the Form I-90 correctly without any mistakes or omissions. FileRight.com walks you through the process and simplifies complicated government language. Starting the process is easy.

Refund Policy

Refund Policy / Money-Back Guarantee

If you would like to request a refund of the fee you paid to the Company for use of the Service, your refund request must be made (a) within thirty (30) days of the original payment date and (b) prior to (i) the completed application being printed or downloaded, (ii) the downloadable product (e.g. E-Book guide) being downloaded, (iii) the physical product (e.g. DVD, application packet) being shipped, (iv) the translation being initiated, or (v) the substantial performance of the purchased Service. The shipment or delivery of any Service or product, whether electronically, by mail or otherwise, shall constitute substantial performance for purposes of this provision.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, refunds for services provided by a third-party service provider, including, without limitation, an independent attorney or professional services provider, are subject exclusively to the agreement between you and such third party.

From time to time, Company may promote a special offer on its website or via email or any other place of its choice (“Special Offer”). If there is a conflict between these Terms and any such Special Offer, the Special Offer terms, conditions and refund policies shall apply.

Unless specifically stated to the contrary herein, all refunds will be calculated based on the purchase price paid at the time of purchase. If the Service includes multiple items purchased at the same time (a “Bundle”), items within the bundle will be considered for a refund individually pursuant to the terms of this Refund Policy, and any refund amounts for items within a Bundle will be based on each item’s set individual item price within the total Bundle price.

For Service currently referred to as “Print & Mail”, only one package shipment is included. If a package shows as “delivered” by USPS or other courier tracking, no refund will be issued for Print & Mail Service. If a new package is requested, it can be purchased at a reduced rate of 50% of the original Print & Mail Service price you paid. If a package is not received and cannot be shown as “delivered” by USPS or other courier tracking, we will send out a replacement Print & Mail Service package to you at no cost.

For any refund requests that do not qualify for a refund pursuant to this Refund Policy, Company, at its complete and sole discretion, may choose to offer a credit to you as a courtesy to be used toward the purchase of one or more items of the Service (“Store Credit”). Store Credit will expressly expire after one (1) year from date of issue. Store Credit has no underlying value and at no times can be exchanged for cash or other form of monetary payment. Store Credit may be used by a friend or family member, but is otherwise non-transferrable and cannot be sold or marketed publicly.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you are a resident of the state of California, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York or Utah you shall have the right to rescind the transaction for any reason, and receive a full refund of your payment for the portion of Service specifically for the use of our form preparation software, within either seventy-two (72) hours or three (3) business days of entering into the contract for such services, whichever is longer. The foregoing exception is not applicable to any other product or service unless required by law.

If, at any time, you receive a final denial from the USCIS of the application you created after successfully using the Service, Company will refund the fee you paid to the Company for use of the Service and any filing fee you paid to the government directly related to the denied application (“Money-Back Guarantee”).

Money-Back Guarantee refund request(s) must be made within ninety (90) days of the date of the final denial by the USCIS.  Only the actual applicant (the person whose name appears on the denied application) is eligible to receive a Money-Back Guarantee refund. No refund will be granted to a third party who is not the applicant.

You also will not be eligible for a Money-Back Guarantee refund if your application is denied by the USCIS because of incorrect or untruthful information or entries on your application, incorrect or missing documentation, or a clerical error or similar administrative issue.

We reserve the right to seek additional information regarding the basis for denial by the USCIS prior to issuing a refund. In the event such additional information is requested, we will process your Money-Back Guarantee refund request and make a decision either to approve or deny your request within fourteen (14) days from receipt of all requested documentation.

All approved refunds for credit and debit card transactions are issued within five (5) business days. However, please be aware that it can take your bank up to five (5) additional business days for the credit transaction to post to your credit card or bank account, or for the pending charge to be cancelled.

18. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Summary:

Most or your concerns can be resolved quickly to your satisfaction by contacting our Customer Center via our Contact Us page. In the unlikely event that the Customer Care Center cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after trying to do so informally, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration rather than in court. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows less discovery than courts, and is subject to very limited court review. We agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis. Representative, group, collective or class actions or arbitrations are not permitted. As explained below, if you prevail in arbitration, Company will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator’s award and will pay your actual, reasonable attorney’s fees if you are awarded an amount greater than what Company offered you to settle the dispute before arbitration.

You may speak with your own lawyer before using this Website or purchasing any Service, but your use of this Website and the purchase of any Service constitutes your agreement to these Terms.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) Company and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The kinds of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted, including but not limited to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising, or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before these or any prior Terms became effective;
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “Company,” “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Service under these Terms or any prior agreements between us.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a representative, group, collective or class action or arbitration.

You acknowledge that use of this Website and/or purchase of Service constitutes a transaction in interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of these Terms.

(b) A party seeking arbitration under these Terms must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to Company should be addressed to: Forms Direct Inc., c/o Paracorp Incorporated, 318 N. Carson St #208, Carson City, NV 89701 (the “Notice Address”). Company may send a written Notice to the electronic mail address that you provided when you created an account, if any. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

You may download or copy a form Notice from http://www.fileright.com/noticeofdispute.pdf.

You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration from the AAA website at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Demand%20for%20Arbitration%20Consumer%20Arbitration%20Rules.pdf.

(c) After Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your total claim is for more than $75,000. If your total claim exceeds $75,000, the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA rules. The filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is currently $200, but this is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee and your total claim is for $75,000 or less, Company will pay the filing fee directly after receiving a written request at the Notice Address. Except as otherwise provided herein, Company will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with these Terms. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse the Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. All arbitration proceeding will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county or parish of the contact address you submitted to Company. If your total claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephone hearing, or by an in-person hearing governed by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either by telephone or in person, we may choose to respond only by written or telephone. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a telephone or in-person hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration under these Terms, neither party will rely on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration to which Company was a party. In all cases, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned, written decision sufficient to explain the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based.

(d) If, the arbitrator finds in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Company’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Company will pay you either the amount of the award or $2,000 (“the Alternative Payment”), whichever is greater, plus the actual amount of reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses that you incurred in investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the “Attorney’s Payment”). If we did not make you a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you will be entitled to receive the Alternative Payment and the Attorney’s Payment, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the Alternative Payment and the Attorney’s Payment at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney’s fees or expenses is greater than the value of Company’s last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall consider only the actual attorney’s fees or expenses reasonably incurred before Company’s settlement offer.

(e) The right to attorney’s fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney’s fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. If you would be entitled to a larger amount under applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney’s fees or costs. Although under some laws Company may have a right to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses from you if it prevails in an arbitration, Company will not seek such an award.

(f) The arbitrator may award monetary and injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE, GROUP OR CLASS ACTION OR ARBITRATION, OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, group or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims remain subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

(g) If the total amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any material change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.
