Asylum application: Aaron needs $3,200 before the deadline

An asylum application deadline is approaching and Aaron can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline. I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at the Fort Worth Community Legal Centre has confirmed that my case is valid. If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know. I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $3,200 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,150 • Filing and biometrics fees: $620 • Certified translations and document copies: $220 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Aaron

    You're not alone. Shared this with my family. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless

            Thanks for sharing this, Aaron. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
