Getting B Visa with EXPIRED Green Card

[oren200]

What happens if a person has a green card that had expired ( and also have not visited the US for 5 years) and now want to go for a visit ?
I understand the Green Card is basically not valid - so just fill an application for tourist visa ( B visa) ?

Yes, you should apply for a B -2 visa if you wish to visit the US.

Also officially relinquish your GC status at the US consulate.
