No. You may file your Form N-400, Naturalization Application, any time after you become eligible to naturalize. However, once qualified, when or if you decide to file a naturalization application is your choice entirely, and you are not obligated to do so.
Your eligibility to file for naturalization should depend upon several factors, including the period you have been a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and your history of departures and absences from this country. The expiration date on your Green Card has no direct bearing on your eligibility to apply for and be granted naturalization.
The knowledgeable Immigration Attorneys at the Law Offices of Dizengoff and Yost can advise you about the naturalization process. In addition, our law firm will provide you with zealous legal representation if you elect to move forward.
