I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,050. 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 Petrópolis 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. 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 $1,050 goes: • Attorney retainer: $730 • Filing and biometrics fees: $220 • Certified translations and document copies: $50 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50 With deep gratitude, Carlos

    Hang in there, Carlos. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      Hope it all works out, Carlos. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
