Family reunification petition: Gabriel needs $750 before the deadline
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Gabriel can't afford the lawyer.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico970 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. 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 $750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $220
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
I hope life is good to you.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Coyoacán.
