Most I-90 filings include a biometrics appointment at the Columbus ASC.

Why this Form I-90 page is written for Lockbourne
families that often divide time between local life and Columbus-area employers, schools, and religious communities — and Lockbourne, with a population near 0, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Across Central Ohio, immigration paperwork tends to cluster around three life events: a family member arriving, a green card renewing or being replaced, and a permanent resident reaching the naturalization window. Lockbourne families work with us to make sure their packet tells one consistent story — the same names, dates, addresses, and relationship facts appear identically across every page.
Lockbourne sits in Central Ohio, a mix of agriculture, regional healthcare systems, and commuter access to the Columbus job market. Central Ohio County, where Lockbourne is located, is a small rural town where families coordinate document trips around county courthouse hours and metro federal services.
most clients drive in via U.S. Route 23, State Route 161, or the I-270 outerbelt. From Lockbourne (ZIP central Ohio), the trip is roughly 30 miles each way.
Lockbourne is about 30 miles from our Morse Rd office — roughly a 45-minute drive. Most clients complete their entire packet in a single visit, so the round trip is rarely repeated. We also serve families across the rest of Central Ohio, where many of our Lockbourne clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Green Card Replacement / Renewal
I-90 Green Card Replacement Guide for Lockbourne
Form I-90 is the USCIS form for renewing or replacing a Permanent Resident Card. Lockbourne residents use it when a green card is expiring, expired, lost, stolen, damaged, printed with an error, or needs updated information after a legal name change. This is different from Form I-751, which is for removing conditions from a two-year conditional green card.
How we organize the filing path
Identify why the green card is being replaced: expiration, loss, theft, damage, USCIS error, or name change.
Gather the current card if available, front and back, or alternate photo ID if the card is missing.
Prepare explanation and supporting records for lost, stolen, damaged, or corrected cards.
Check the mailing address carefully because USCIS notices and the replacement card depend on it.
Keep the I-797 receipt notice because it may extend proof of permanent resident status while the case is pending.

- ✓Current or expired green card, front and back
- ✓Government-issued photo ID
- ✓Police report or written explanation if stolen or lost
