Q: My DIL's green card expired. My son, her husband/US citizen, passed away. 2 kids US born. What can she do 2 renew card?
She came to the US when very young, with her father, who is now a US citizen. She needs benefits due to my son's unexpected death but is afraid to do so. She had planned to take the citizenship test but that went by the wayside. I'm trying to get information for her to help her out.
A: She can still renew. Once she has the new card she can apply for naturalization.

A:
I am going to assume your DIL has a 10 year card. Her status is not expired even though her card is expired.
She will need to renew the card first before she can file for NATZ.
If you really want to help her out, help her financially to get this taken care of and get her NATZ.
