Carlos is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Carlos has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Carlos could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $650 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
• Filing and biometrics fees: $175
• Attorney retainer: $435
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
