Family reunification petition: Paresh needs $100 before the deadline

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $100. 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 Mumbai 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 $100 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15 • Filing and biometrics fees: $50 • Certified translations and document copies: $35 If you're reading this, thank you.
