I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $250. 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 Campinas 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 $250 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
• Filing and biometrics fees: $130
Thank you so much.
- André

Praying for you, André. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Salem.
shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Hải Phòng this morning
So sorry you're going through this, André. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
