I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. 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 Madrid Welcome 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 $2,200 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $85
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $615
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you, Pedro. This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Envigado
Hope this works out for you. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Southampton.
Thinking of you and your family, Pedro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
