Renewals & Replacements: Keeping Your Life Moving Without Interruptions
Most immigration problems don’t begin with a big crisis — they start with something small. A card that expired months ago. A work permit that takes longer than expected. A document the government lost in the mail. A mistake you didn’t notice until someone else pointed it out.
These small issues can suddenly turn into bigger problems, affecting your job, your ability to travel, or even your daily peace of mind. And when you’re already juggling work, family, school, and life, the last thing you need is paperwork slowing you down or putting your status at risk.
At Rebecca Kitson Law, we help you handle renewals and replacements before they become a setback. We focus on clarity, timing, and accuracy — so your life keeps moving the way it should.
What We Help You Take Care Of
Work Permit (EAD) Renewals
Your work permit is the key to your income and your stability. We help you renew it early, correctly, and with the right documentation so you don’t face interruptions at work.
Green Card Renewals or Replacements
Whether your card expired, was lost, or has an error, we help you fix it quickly so you can continue living, working, and traveling with confidence.
Replacing Lost or Incorrect Documents
Approval notices, I-94s, travel permits, residency cards — these documents matter more than people realize. We help you replace them and get your records back in order.
Replacing or Correcting Citizenship Documents
If your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship is missing or has a mistake, we help you request a new, accurate one so you always have proof of status.
Situations You Might Recognize
“My Work Permit Is About to Expire, What Do I Do?”
A client realizes their work permit runs out soon and panics. We help them file early, track the timeline, and stay authorized to work.
“I Lost My Green Card and Don’t Know How to Replace It.”
Someone misplaces their card or it gets stolen. We guide them through the replacement process so they can avoid issues with employment, travel, or identification.
“I Got a Notice With the Wrong Name on It.”
A small USCIS mistake can cause big delays later. We take care of the correction so their legal documents match their real identity.
“I’m a New Citizen and Can’t Find My Certificate.”
Someone needs their certificate for a passport, a job, or school. We guide them through the process of getting a replacement.
How We Help You Avoid Delays and Stress
We track your deadlines.
Most people don’t realize how early they should renew documents. We help you plan ahead so nothing expires unexpectedly.
We submit complete applications the first time.
A missing signature or wrong document can add months of waiting. We make sure everything is correct and organized.
We explain what matters — and what doesn’t.
Not every issue is serious, but some need quick attention. We help you tell the difference so you can act with confidence.
We keep your case moving.
Whether it’s a renewal, replacement, or correction, we help you stay on track so your life doesn’t pause because of paperwork.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renewals & Replacements
How early should I renew my work permit?
As early as you can. We help you check the timeline so you don’t lose work authorization.
What if my green card expired years ago?
You can still renew. We guide you through the process and explain what to expect.
Can I travel with an expired or lost green card?
It depends. We help you understand the risks and what steps to take first.
USCIS made a mistake on my document — do I have to pay again?
If the error is theirs, usually no. We help request a correction at no cost.
Do I need a lawyer for renewals?
Not always — but many people work with us to avoid delays, rejections, or lost time.
What if I lost everything — my card, my notices, my old documents?
You still have options. We help you rebuild your file and get replacements.

I have known Rebecca professionally for a number of years now. I have had the pleasure of meeting her in person a time or two, but I know her best from our mutual participation in some online forums of immigration lawyers where we can ask each other questions. You can tell a lot about a professional by the types of questions they ask - how well they have researched ahead of time, how nuanced the questions are, and even how they respond to others' questions. I have seen Rebecca ask excellent, well thought out and well-researched (by her, ahead of time) questions over the years, showing me that she's a brilliant lawyer who wants the very best for her clients. I have also witnessed her responses to others' questions over the years. Not only are her responses helpful and importantly, accurate (not every lawyer's answers are right!), but her authentic compassion always shines through. I am choosy in who I refer others to, and I never hesitate to refer to her. I'm grateful to call her a valued colleague.Posted on Victoria GentryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
