Could they have held so called conditional Green Cards?
that's a million dollar question.
unfortunately, I lost touch with them once they moved back..
I know some had some rub with law, so that - surely - would impact their qualifications.

Was it a rub or serious injury)) People move back home for various reasons. Often they do not discuss this with acquaintances in detail.
Went in for finger printing on 9/9/14 for my citizenship application/ case , got it done , while I was there I asked to speak to a manager to see if I can get some answers about my green card case , she said "" I dont know why they accepted your citizenship application when your green card is about to expire , they should of declined the application and asked you to file the I90 renewal form ( green card renewal form ) first.". She also said make an appointment through u.s.c.i.s circus website and take 3 passport photos , a check and all your documents and a filled out I90 application they should be able to help you.
After staying up really late several days ( pass 2 am ) and getting really early in the morning( 330 am ) attempting to get an appointment , Finally I did get one . for 9/12/14.at 1:30 pm
Went down to local U.s.c.i.s circus today 1.5 hours early . went to appointment window , was told I should of filled the form on line and brought the receipt down , I asked her can i do it on my phone and pay for it . she said yes , so I created an account logged in ,filled the form,attempted to pay for the I90 form , the web site says "" we can not accept payment at this time please try back later.went to the window asked to see a supervisor regardless ,since the U.s.c.i.c circus appointment web site says ""You want to file an application in person"" . and that was my appointment for .
Apparently the U.s.c.i.s circus doesn't accept application in person or accept payment of any sort at the field office , but they have cashiers window , next to the appointment window where I was standing. I asked to see an agent , I was told I cant see an agent until , I file the I 90 on line and take the receipt in . and I cant just walk in, I have to make another appointment to bring the receipt in . SOooo I am back to square one again , I have to make an appointment . logged to the web site attempted to make another appointment ,the U.s.c.I.s circus web site says ""At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later. ""
Who knew it was going to be a wonderful educational experience , I learned today that I.N.s is like a circus , where you can not get a straight answer from no one , If i knew I was going to go through so much headache , I would of filed for my I90 first , and wouldn't of lost my job.
My green card will expire September 19th 2014 , I have already applied for U.S. citizenship in July 2014.
I did get my conformation receipt from I.N.S that they have got my Citizenship application.
Now my employer is telling me they will suspend me from my employment ,if I don't have a valid green card and she doesn't want to except the receipt for my citizenship. I have called I.N.S few times to verify that i can work while I am waiting for citizenship process ,I.N.S said " yes you can work and you don't have renew your green card " but they wont Issue any type of E mail or document to get my employer off my back .I even tried to make an appointment Trough I.N.S Infopass web site it say"s ""At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later."" I did countless hours of web search I cant find any info regarding this matter.
What do I do now?? If i renew my card will it complicate or delay the citizenship process? will it delay the green card process??
Any advise greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
And even if that's not done in timely fashion, her employer is still dead wrong! In any case, you can't get an "extension" of a GC. The status is "forever" barring criminal acts or failure to adhere to the commitments attached to it but it's simply the card which is now renewable every 10 years with the price to renew hefty.
And the person who took your fingerprints gave you bad information. USCIS was right in not rejecting your citizenship application. You can file it even if your card is expired since, as STT notes, your status has not expired, just the evidence of it.
The fingerprints are done at an Application Support Center (ASC). They are NOT government officials. They are contractors and their ONLY job is to take your biometrics. They have no business spouting off about the process. And, as this has made clear, they don't know what they're talking about.

In reality the employer is just wrong. Just wait for the citizenship process to finish. You already filled the forms, which is exactly what the lawyer would do... Actually, since it's been filed already, it's likely that the laywyer's advice will be exactly that: do nothing. $500 for the consultation, please.
Sorry, my response and fee trumped yours and my fee is twice that.
