Family reunification petition: Janet needs $2,050 before the deadline
Janet needs $2,050 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the March deadline.
🇺🇸 United States1,011 views
Janet is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,050. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Janet has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the San Francisco Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Janet 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 $2,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $460
• Certified translations and document copies: $185
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $105
With deep gratitude,
Joshua

praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Lowell.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Caloocan.
