I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. 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 Valencia 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 $2,500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Laura. 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. Take care
Hope it all works out, Laura. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
