Isabelle needs $3,250 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the June deadline.
🇦🇺 Australia4,052 views
Isabelle is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Isabelle has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Isabelle 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $630
• Certified translations and document copies: $310
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Ryan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Ryan. Hope this works out for you.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isabelle.
Attorney retainer is $2,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Parramatta.
