Family reunification petition: Onyango needs $400 before the deadline
Onyango needs $400 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the December deadline.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Naivasha 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $260
• Filing and biometrics fees: $90
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
