Don't Stop Working
Your Green Card is your work authorization. Even while citizenship is processing, you can legally work. Green Card = unrestricted work permit.
If Green Card Expires
Apply for renewal (I-90) before expiration. Expired card still shows prior authorization while renewal pending.
After Citizenship
You no longer need work authorization. US citizenship = unlimited right to work anywhere without special permits.
