Hyun-ju is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,300. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Hyun-ju has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at San Diego Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Hyun-ju could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $520
• Certified translations and document copies: $85
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Byung-hun. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Brescia
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Byung-hun. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Byung-hun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Orlando
