A few hours of immigration lawyer time could save Shankar's home
Shankar is facing a visa refusal appeal and can't afford a lawyer; an immigration lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, with a hearing on August. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer.
I'm looking for a qualified immigration lawyer licensed in Maharashtra who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee.
I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Mumbai or meet online.
I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Shankar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Envigado
Hope things get better soon, Shankar. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Mumbai.
Take care, Shankar. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Chandler
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Mumbai.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 12 people at work
Best of luck, Shankar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
hope you get there. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

Praying for you, Shankar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
