Family reunification petition: Valentin needs $2,100 before the deadline
Valentin needs $2,100 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 $2,100. 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 Nice 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 $2,100 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145
• Attorney retainer: $1,585
Thanks for reading all this.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Milan!
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Hialeah.
