Family reunification petition: Manal needs $1,250 before the deadline

A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Manal can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,250. 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 $1,250 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $500 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130 • Attorney retainer: $620 With deep gratitude, Manal
