Q. I have a green card that has expired and I want to apply for US citizenship. Do I have to renew my green card before applying?

 

A:

A. Yes. It may seem puzzling that you are expected to get a new green card when you will simply turn it in on the day of the that you become a citizen, nevertheless at the present time, USCIS requires applicants to renew their green cards before applying for citizenship if the green card will expire within six months before the date you will file your application for naturalization.
