Family reunification petition: Tomás needs $1,600 before the deadline
Tomás needs $1,600 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the March deadline.
🇪🇸 Granada, Andalusia, Spain357 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,600. 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 Granada 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 $1,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $340
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 6 people at work.
