I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,250. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $2,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $440
• Certified translations and document copies: $185
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $125
With deep gratitude,
Angel

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Birmingham.
wishing you peace, Angel. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
best of luck, Angel. Hope you get there. Blessings
Thinking of you, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Tamale!
