More details to this question:
I am 60 years old women, lived in the US since 2001. Have no criminal record no other issues. Except, I hired the attorney in NY back in 2002, I had no know the language well. So, I trusted the attorney, she spoke my language and proposed to file the case on my behalf. Apparently she filed Asylum case. I was working as a home attended 24/7. I only had a chance to come once per two three month to bring additional payment to the attorney's office. After I paid $5000 I came to the office to find out if there is any news for me, the office was closed and Attorney disappeared. I was unable to find Attorney. So, I did not know what happen to my case. Until few years later, at the office where I worked someone called to USCIS and found out that I was deported. It was 2003 or 2004. I have a daughter in the US who already become a citizen. I have no criminal record or any other violations. I am seeking advice what can I do to become legal? Thank you

You should seek an attorney familiar with immigration litigation in the immigration courts. That attorney would likely obtain a copy of your file, and move to have your case reopened. Whether it can be will likely be a joint decision of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the immigration court.
