name check pending and renewing the green card

Does anybody know if your name check is pending after the citizenship test, and if your green card expires - do they renew your green card, or would be a problem?

I am will be doing my graduate study for several years, taking loans, so if my green card expires and they do not renew it, I will be doomed....
 
If you applied for citizenship more than 6 months before your green card expires, you do not need to renew the green card (that statement is in the instructions or the Guide somewhere).

I submitted my N-400 in September 2005 and my green card expired in May 2006. I went in for an InfoPass and the Immigration Agent stamped an I-551 (Temporary Evidence of Lawful admission for Permanent Residence) in my passport extending my "Green Card" for (oddly) seven months.

My daughter (a minor, who didn't apply for citizenship -- she obtained it when her mother became a citizen) had her green card expire while her mother was still in process. We decided to apply for a new card. Interestingly her fingerprinting was the day before my wife's oath ceremony. During the fingerprinting, they put a holographic sticker on her green card extending it several months.
