I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $2,950 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,750 • Filing and biometrics fees: $770 • Certified translations and document copies: $190 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $240 Every share and every dollar helps.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Khalid.

    • Khalid MebarekOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($1,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

  • Logan L. Montgomery

    Sending good thoughts, Khalid. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless

    • Mateus Wagner Moreira

      Good luck, Khalid. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Take care.

      • Sophie Laura Gaillard

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
