    Default How to Naturalize After Your Green Card Expires

    I'm writing for a friend who came to the US at 8 months old with her parents. She was born in England.
    She's lived here continuously ever since.
    She's been through some hard times, and let her green card expire.
    I want to help her start the process to citizenship. It's about time!

    Question: What are the steps she should take to start on her path to citizenship?
    And, is the process costly?

    Thank you in advance for helping me to help her get her act together!

    Default Re: In Us Since 8 Mths Old, Let Green Card Expire Years Ago - What Are Next Steps

    Did her parents happen to naturalize while she was a minor?

    The best way you can help her is to put her in touch with a social service agency that helps immigrants. Catholic Charities and Lutheran Relief are two known nationwide, but your community likely has others. Check with any local law schools too.

    Should we guess that she has been continuously in the U.S., and is presently still in the U.S.?

    In the short term, assuming that her only immigration issue is that her non-conditional Green Card has expired, she should renew her Green Card.

    I don't know if her parents naturalized, both are deceased now, but she has lived in the US since she was a baby.
    Thanks for the advice on the social service agencies - I will look into that, and for the link to renewing her green card.
    You are all so helpful!
