Family reunification petition: Randall needs $700 before the deadline
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Randall can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom922 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $290
• Certified translations and document copies: $195
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $215
With deep gratitude,
Randall

wishing you the best, Randall. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Randall. I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Randall. This could happen to any of us. Love from Tokyo.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning. Blessings.
