Help Babu with family reunification petition filing and attorney fees
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Babu can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world1,651 views
Babu is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $300. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Babu has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Nagpur Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Babu 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 $300 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $50
• Attorney retainer: $210
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
