Citizenship application: Myra needs $400 before the deadline

A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Myra can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Thane 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $400 goes: • Attorney retainer: $240 • Filing and biometrics fees: $90 • Certified translations and document copies: $45 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
