Do I need to wait to get a citizenship? resident since 92 , 2002 green card expire didnt renew it till this year , never left US.

Your legal residence does not expire just because you did not renew it if you did not leave the US for a long period of time. Although it is the law that every permanent resident should carry proof of such with him or her, that does not negate the fact that you are still a permanent resident. As you now have a renewed green card, you can apply for your US citizenship immediately as long as you otherwise qualify for naturalization.
