Asylum application: Priyanka needs $650 before the deadline
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Priyanka can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India2,012 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 Mumbai 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $135
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
