Bella needs $1,150 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the July deadline.

Bella is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Bella 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 Bella 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 $1,150 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Filing and biometrics fees: $760
