I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $200. 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. 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 $200 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35 • Certified translations and document copies: $55 • Filing and biometrics fees: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.

    • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
