What Happens if Your Green Card Expires While Waiting for Citizenship?

Answer

If your Green Card expires while you are waiting for US citizenship, this does not affect your residency status or the citizenship application process. Even with an expired Green Card, you remain a lawful permanent resident. However, it’s recommended to renew your Green Card to avoid troubles in proving your status for employment, travel or other legal situations.
