Help Harini with citizenship application filing and attorney fees
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Harini can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world184 views
Harini is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Harini has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Mumbai Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Harini 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 $650 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $145
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Attorney retainer: $465
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Harini?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about filing and biometrics fees, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Hope it all works out, Devi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 22 people at work. Greetings from Ikeja
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Mumbai.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Mumbai.
