Help Kennedy with residency renewal filing and attorney fees

A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Kennedy can't afford the lawyer.

Kennedy is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Kennedy has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Los Angeles Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Kennedy 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,700 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,700 • Filing and biometrics fees: $610 • Certified translations and document copies: $250 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Miles
