Citizenship application: Yogesh needs $400 before the deadline
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Yogesh can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 India1,340 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for February, 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: $270
• Filing and biometrics fees: $70
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45
Glad we found this place.
