A: What do you mean that you have an expired visa? Are you a legal permanent resident with a green card? Do you have another type of visa?

If, for example you are a resident, you should apply for a new green card immediately or citizenship if you qualify.

If, you have another type of visa you should talk to a lawyer urgently.

A: Typically, domestic flights only require proof of identity (not proof of legal status) but you should double check that with the airline that you would be travelling with. Best wishes!
