Help Eunice with family reunification petition filing and attorney fees

A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Eunice can't afford the lawyer.

Eunice is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $460. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Eunice 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 Eunice 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 $460 goes: • Attorney retainer: $430 • Certified translations and document copies: $25 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5 With deep gratitude, Barasa

Updates from Barasa

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($135 in total) I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
