esta after first visiting Iran and after that giving up green card?
Hello!
In 2013 I visited Iran.
In 2015 I got a green card.
In 2016 I gave up my green card.
Now I want to visit the US soon (I am Dutch). I assume I need to apply for a visa as I am not eligible for an ESTA as I visited Iran after 2011, but that seems so silly as I suppose they vetted my quite well before giving me a green card!?
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you all!
Considering the prior experiences I have had with the American immigration people it hardly comes a surprise. An expensive and time wasting trip to the consulate it is...
