Fabiana is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Fabiana has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Olinda Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Fabiana 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 $1,100 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Filing and biometrics fees: $220
• Attorney retainer: $840
Glad we found this place.

We're at 12% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($82). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($107 in total) the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
