Chloe is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Chloe has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Peoria Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Chloe could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know. 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 $2,500 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,900 • Filing and biometrics fees: $400 • Certified translations and document copies: $90 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110 Thank you so much.

Updates from Douglas

  1. Quick update: $525 raised so far (21%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($515 in total) I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 0% there. we've started the first stage. Thank you.
