I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. 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 the Thrissur Community Legal 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 $550 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $390
• Filing and biometrics fees: $95
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

wishing you peace, Sunita. Shared this with my family. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Thrissur.
Praying for you, Sunita. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
