Asylum application: Basma needs $2,500 before the deadline
Help Basma cover the fees of an asylum application so She can stay with her family.
🇸🇦 Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia3,078 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. 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 Dammam Welcome 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $70
• Attorney retainer: $2,000
• Filing and biometrics fees: $430
Thank you for reading my story.

Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Kasarani.
Rooting for you, Basma. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Good luck, Basma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
