Help Madeline with residency renewal filing and attorney fees
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Madeline can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States722 views
Madeline is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Madeline has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Madeline 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 $800 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $510
• Certified translations and document copies: $190
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 30 people at work
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Hadley. Hope this works out for you. Take care
