Guys,
A friend of mine is having some trouble. I do not know how she got into US in the first place (yet) but her 10 year green card expired in february. To the best of my understanding of green cards if it is a 10 year one her card is expired not a status. If you agree what are her options now? Can she apply straight for citizenship or does she need to apply for another green card first? If so what form?
Thanks!

She must have a valid green card to go for citizenship. I am not sure the process for expired green cards of the 10 year type, I know the 2 year one is a mess if you miss it because of removing conditions.

Your friend needs to file an I-90 and get a new green card. For simple cases (sounds like this case) the I-90 can be filed electronically on the USCIS website. The cost is $450, and includes a biometrics appointment for new photos and fingerprints.
You are correct that the status doesn't expire when the green card expires. Your friend is still a permanent resident, but without a valid green card they would have trouble proving it.

Hey guys!
Thanks a lot for the reply. I got some new details here. So my friend already applied for I-90 but the real problem is she needs to verify her employment eligibility. She has her valid DL but her SS card has the old wording on it since back many years ago "valid with DHS auth only". So, what are her options on proving work eligibility?
The only thing I found is this section in I9:
"If an employee is unable to present a required document (or documents), the employee must present an acceptable receipt in lieu of a document listed on the last page of this form. Receipts showing that a person has applied for an initial grant of employment authorization, or for renewal of employment authorization, are not acceptable. Employees must present receipts within three business days of the date employment begins and must present valid replacement documents within 90 days or other specified time".
Any other thoughts?
