Citizenship application: Kimberly needs $700 before the deadline
Kimberly needs $700 for filing fees and representation in a citizenship application before the November deadline.
🇳🇿 Auckland, New Zealand440 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. 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 Manukau 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145
• Certified translations and document copies: $185
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
