After entering the United States legally several years ago, my status became complicated when my employer-sponsored process collapsed midway, and I later overstayed while caring for a sick family member. I now have a pending labor complaint, mixed immigration records, and recently received a Notice to Appear in immigration court. With past lawful entry, periods of overstay, and possible relief options overlapping, what risks do I face, and what strategies could realistically protect me from removal?

This is a complex case because lawful entry can preserve eligibility for certain relief despite overstays. The Notice to Appear means removal proceedings have started, but it does not automatically mean deportation. Court-based relief may still be available.

Your labor complaint could be relevant if it involved exploitation, retaliation, or abuse. In some situations, that may support humanitarian options or deferred action. Timing and documentation will be critical.

You should consult an immigration attorney immediately to review adjustment, cancellation of removal, or humanitarian pathways. Immigration court allows judges to pause or administratively close cases in limited circumstances. Any prior filings, entries, and exits must be carefully reviewed for inconsistencies. Acting early gives you the best chance to stabilize your situation legally.
