Citizenship application: Cameron needs $1,650 before the deadline
Cameron needs $1,650 for filing fees and representation in a citizenship application before the October deadline.
🇺🇸 Bellevue, Washington, United States1,439 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,650. 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 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 $1,650 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
• Certified translations and document copies: $130
• Attorney retainer: $1,460
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Bellevue.
Good luck, Cameron. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Cameron. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Bellevue!
Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
