Help Danielle with citizenship application filing and attorney fees

Help Danielle cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.

Danielle is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Danielle has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Tampa Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Danielle 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 $4,250 goes: • Attorney retainer: $3,250 • Filing and biometrics fees: $770 • Certified translations and document copies: $80 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150 Thanks for being kind about this. - Eleanor

Updates from Eleanor

  1. Update from Tampa: I made the first payment toward attorney retainer. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($558 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
