I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,300. 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,300 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,200 • Filing and biometrics fees: $690 • Certified translations and document copies: $270 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140 I hope life is good to you.

                  Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Alexandria so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Fresno.
