Batuhan is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Batuhan 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 Batuhan 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 $700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $450
• Filing and biometrics fees: $180
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Elif. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from San Diego
