Help Liam with asylum application filing and attorney fees
Liam needs $2,800 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the January deadline.
🇳🇿 New Zealand1,455 views
Liam is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Liam has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Manukau Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Liam 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 $2,800 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $430
• Attorney retainer: $2,300
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.
