## Speak to an immigration attorney or to your employer directly to verify work eligibility.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide any legal advice. The USCIS states that you are required to carry a valid, unexpired green card with you at all times to prove your residency status and your eligibility to work in the U.S. You should speak to an immigration attorney or to your employer directly to determine if their rules will allow you to continue working while your naturalization application is pending and your green card is expired.
