I would suggest to renew your green card before starting the citizenship application. Although an expired green card will not alter your LPR status, you will need an updated one as a proof of residency for obtaining employment. It is not a general knowledge that you may have an expired green card and still be a legal resident. It is advisable to maintain a valid green card to avoid any problems, especially that immigration laws are now constantly changing. Also, you will not be allowed to re-enter the US from abroad with an expired LPR document. The application process itself takes 6 months to a year for some applicants, and sometimes even longer. You will be surrendering your alien receipt card at the conclusion of the oath-taking ceremony and be rewarded with the naturalization certificate in return. Thereafter, you should apply for a US passport and exercise your rights to vote.

I don't know about that specifically, but they usually have a limit on how soon you can apply for various things, and recommend on applying as soon as possible
ie, for many of these things the limit is 90 days, more than 90 days you can't apply. But when there are 89 days left, it's time to apply.

once you've a approved reproduction of the marriage certificate and both one of your start certificate then you definately can keep on with. How lengthy the technique will take in spite of the reality that is questionable. when you're dealing with a US Consulate then it may take some months and then you're sturdy to bypass. yet when you're doing it contained in the U. S. itself then it may take plenty longer, even years before the perfect Alien Resident Card will be issued. you may want to bypass by numerous interviews, clinical, then frequently a police verify & even fingerprint verify.

You should have done that sooner. In order to become a citizen you not only have to apply but you have to take a test and be sworn in as a US citizen.
