I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for August, 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 the Madurai Community Legal 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 $400 goes: • Attorney retainer: $270 • Filing and biometrics fees: $50 • Certified translations and document copies: $35 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45 Thanks for reading all this. - Alamin
