Hello Anonymous in MT,

You can certainly re-apply after your I-90 application to renew your green card has been denied, however, before you do so, you need to find out why it was denied in the first place so that you do not repeat the same mistake. Some simple reasons for denial such as using an out of date form, ticking the wrong box, or sending in an insufficient fee can be easily corrected. Other reasons may be complicated and may require that you sit down with an attorney to discuss the details of your case to determine how and when to re-apply.

If you have criminal convictions you should definitely see an immigration attorney before you consider re-applying. Please take the denial letter with you as that will provide the attorney with information as to why your case was denied.
