I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for June, 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 Girona 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 $700 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $135 • Filing and biometrics fees: $400 • Certified translations and document copies: $165 Thank you so much.

  • Take care, Rodrigo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

    • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Warsaw

        • Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

          • Rooting for you, Rodrigo. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

            • Thinking of you, Rodrigo. Looking forward to the next update. All the best

                So sorry you're going through this, Rodrigo. Hope you get there. Love from Kediri.

                • Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Girona
