Rania needs $3,800 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the November deadline.

Rania is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Rania has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Peoria Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Rania could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $3,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,000
• Filing and biometrics fees: $460
• Certified translations and document copies: $185
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
