Hi there!

My 10-year GC is expiring in May so I need to file an I-90 for replacement, but I also want to file a N-400 to apply for citizenship (I've been eligible for a while).

Should I send in my GC replacement application first? Does the timing matter? Just wondering if it's okay to file both at the same time.

 

EDIT: I just noticed that the USCIS website says that expiring GCs are automatically extended for 24 months when you file an N-400 - is that real? Here's the wording on the website:

Quote

f you currently have a Green Card and properly file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, we will automatically extend the validity of your Green Card for up to 24 months from the “Card Expires” date listed on your permanent resident card.
