Q: my wife needs to renew her resident card but wants to try for citizenship.
she previously applied and was denied due to her interview. should she reapply or just renew her residency
A:
More information is needed. A question like this requires a careful review of the decision denying naturalization. What is clear is that she cannot travel nor obtain new employment without an unexpired lawful permanent resident card. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or Zoom/Skype teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, who can carefully review the decision to deny citizenship by naturalization.
She needs legal advice, but someone will need to spend enough time to review and explain the situation, she understands what is actually going on.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
