Once your visa expires, you lose lawful status, and options become limited. You’ll need to speak with an immigration attorney right away.

Depending on your situation, you might explore adjustment of status if you have a qualifying family relationship or asylum eligibility. Some people also qualify for Temporary Protected Status or humanitarian relief. But overstaying for a long period can complicate future visa or green card applications.

There are potential remedies, but they depend heavily on your history and personal circumstances. If you fear returning home or have close U.S. family, you may qualify for certain protections. Avoid taking informal advice or filing anything without guidance. A legal consultation will help determine whether you have any path forward to remain lawfully.
