Citizenship application: Byaruhanga needs $450 before the deadline
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Byaruhanga can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. 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 Kasarani 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $450 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $125
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
• Attorney retainer: $285
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
