Dependent upon the type of work visa that you have, you may still be able to renew it. If it is a work visa in a nonimmigrant category and the maximum time period has not been exhausted, your employer may file an extension petition and you would likely have to leave the U. S. to interview for the visa at the American consulate or Embassy in your home country. If the work visa is an employment authorization card (EAD), you may be able to renew it if the principal application (usually I-485) is still valid. I note that you would not be allowed to work during the time that the EAD extension application is pending. Deportation is usually not a concern unless you already under proceedings.
