Help Alice with citizenship application filing and attorney fees
Help Alice cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States680 views
Alice is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Alice has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Alice 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $280
• Filing and biometrics fees: $610
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
