Asylum application: Dolores needs $2,600 before the deadline

🇪🇸 46079, Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain1,022 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,600. 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 Valencia 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 $2,600 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $435
With deep gratitude,
Dolores
