Family reunification petition: Seema needs $310 before the deadline
Seema needs $310 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the August deadline.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $310. 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 the Salem Community Legal 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 $310 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $260
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Rooting for you, Seema. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Chennai.
