I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $900. 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 $900 goes: • Attorney retainer: $640 • Filing and biometrics fees: $135 • Certified translations and document copies: $85 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40 Thank you so much. - Fernanda

    You're not alone, Fernanda. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

    • Thomas E. Gilbert

      Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal.
