If so, is this done automatically? Do I need to something additional to do this? Could you please show me a link showing me this? I saw this in passing when looking through some uscis.gov webpage, so I'm not 100% certain. Also, Alexa says that this is true, but I'd like a human to verify this.

If this happens, will the applicant be issued a new green card entirely with a new expiration date or will they get a different document specifying that they are an applicant in the naturalization process?

Asking for someone that I know.

Also, when going through the naturalization process, to what level of English competence does an applicant need to understand to pass the English written/reading portion of the test? Like, if they take class XYZ or can pass a test of some sort, that is a good indicator that they know English well enough.

I'd appreciate some answers in this stressful time.

Frankly, you ought to be pointing someone you know to somebody who actually knows the answers (a specialist).
