Help Manuel with work-permit appeal filing and attorney fees
Manuel needs $2,250 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the October deadline.

Manuel is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Manuel 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 Manuel 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 $2,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,600
• Filing and biometrics fees: $410
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $165
Thanks for being kind about this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dallas.
Thank you. If you're in Dallas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in George this morning. God bless.
Praying for you, Natalia. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Los Angeles
Sending love, Natalia. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 36 people at work. Take care.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bandung
