At the risk of being the odd one out here, may I just clarify something?
An expired green-card is just that. The card (the "proof") has expired - but the holder's residency has not expired. He is still in status, unless the residency is conditional (and he's said nothing to indicate that's the case).
Now granted I agree with most of everything else that's been said, but sometimes this point gets lost in everything else.
