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 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.
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:
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $150
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Leandro?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about attorney retainer, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 5 people at work.
