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.
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.
Sending good thoughts, Khalid. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Good luck, Khalid. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
