I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $755. 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 Ciudad de México 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.
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 $755 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $440
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
• Certified translations and document copies: $50
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5
Glad we found this place.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Tehuacán
