🇪🇸 Spain1,520 views
Alberto is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Alberto has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Madrid Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Alberto could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Certified translations and document copies: $110
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending strength, Dolores. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alberto!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($1,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
