She was charged with overstaying between Sept. 3, 2022 and
July 30, 2024. She did not leave after the two-week period given her when she
was terminated on July 3, 2022.
In mitigation, her lawyer said she was remorseful and she
surrendered to the Immigration Department because she wanted to go home to
visit her sick mother.
