My grandmothers wants to become a citizen but her Green Card is about to expire.

I’ve been trying to search posts but I’ve seen a lot of mixed messages. However, most point towards “you can still apply with an expired green card”.

So my grandmother wants to become a citizen, she’s savings money for a immigration lawyer to help her do the process.

However, her green card is going to expire in less than a month. And she has yet to begin the process of citizenship.

She often travel between Mexico and US a lot mostly to visit her mother (my great grandmother) as she’s becoming very ill lately.

I know the citizenship process can take a while. Would it be best to renew her green card since she travels a lot? If she does renew it, how long would it take to get it? Since she literally only has a month left with hers. Would she have trouble coming back into the US with an expired green card but a pending renewal?

My grandmother currently doesn’t want to pay the ~$500 renewal fee. But if she really needs it I would gladly put my money to help (currently trying to pay off my credit card debt).

Thanks for any responses! Anything help!

Edit: Not sure if this matters, just realized I should include it. She has a Sentri card that she uses to cross the border. I think she presents both green card and sentri card when crossing but I don’t really remember.

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
