If you attempt to reenter the US on your expired green card, you should be prepared to tell your story to the immigration officer at the port of entry. The officer has the authority to allow you back into the country. It may also be necessary for you to submit an application on form I-191.

A L-1 visa is for intracompany transferees who are transferred from a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate organization to one of the three types of organizations in the US. If you have one of these types of organizations in Algeria which is doing okay, you may be eligible to transfer yourself over under the L-1 visa. Usually the overseas organization has reasonable sales, revenue, and employees. An example would be an overseas company having 75 workers and annual sales of $5 million. Please note that you also have to demonstrate that you have been employed in the qualifying overseas organization for one of the past three years before filing as an executive, manager, or person of specialized knowledge.

Expungement has no immigration affect. In otherwords immigration does not consider expungement of a conviction at all. As far as they are concerned a conviction is a conviction. Whether or not you will need a waiver for this conviction along with the I485 will depend on the conviction, sentencing, etc.
