Q: My green card expired a year ago is there a way to get a extention to go back home and come back and file citizenship
I can apply for citizenship, but I want to go back to sell some properties get the money and bring it back and then file for citizenship. Is there anything that’s calling extension on an expired green card?
A: If you want to travel outside of the United States, you need a valid, unexpired passport. Additionally, it is best to have proof your permanent residency. So, you should file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. After filing, you will likely receive a receipt notice or a biometrics appointment notice. If you receive a biometrics appointment notice, be sure to take a valid passport and your expired permanent resident card to the appointment.
