Family reunification petition: Naveen needs $600 before the deadline
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Naveen can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 the Durgapur Community Legal Centre 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 $600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $100
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Naveen
Small update. $153 so far, the plan for filing and biometrics fees is now scheduled.
