Citizenship application: Óscar needs $750 before the deadline
Óscar needs $750 for filing fees and representation in a citizenship application before the September deadline.
🇺🇸 United States511 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. 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 St. Petersburg 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 $750 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210
• Filing and biometrics fees: $365
If you're reading this, thank you.
