Help Jade with citizenship application filing and attorney fees
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Jade cannot afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States2,861 views
Jade is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Jade has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Fresno Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Jade 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 $3,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,900
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Certified translations and document copies: $170
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. God bless!
Good luck, Evelyn. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Birmingham.
Best of luck, Evelyn. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Flint so I could bring a meal.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Fresno
I hope things turn around soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Kisumu.
Praying for you, Evelyn. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
