The naturalization process typically takes 8-12 months after filing Form N-400, involves three major appointments: biometrics appointment, citizenship interview, and oath ceremony. Permanent residents filing the N-400 application at least six months before their green card expires receive a no-cost extension, ensuring their green card’s validity.

Renewal of a green card is costly, and if you plan to apply for U.S. citizenship, you can use an expired green card for application. However, you must have proof of permanent residence for 8 to 12 months. Expired cards can cause issues like international travel, employment, and home loans. USCIS can extend your green card if you file Form N-400 six months before it expires.

Applying for citizenship costs slightly more than renewing a green card but is cheaper in the long term. The total USCIS fee for applying is $725, including filing and biometrics fees. Unlike remaining a permanent resident, becoming a US citizen is less expensive. USCIS has made it easier to pay N-400 fees, including credit card payments, fee waivers, and honorably serving in the US armed forces.
