Hello Peter,

I am a green card holder approaching my 5-year anniversary. I want to apply for US citizenship and have two questions:

1. I changed my job about six months after becoming a permanent resident. I stayed in the same profession (software engineering). Will I encounter any problems during the naturalization process because I changed my job so quickly after getting my green card?

2. My national passport has expired and I don’t really want to renew it. Is having a valid national passport a requirement for US naturalization? I believe I need to bring all current and expired passports to the interview. However, I would not have any current passports.

Thank you.
