Help Quentin with citizenship application filing and attorney fees

Quentin needs $2,500 for filing fees and representation in a citizenship application before the October deadline.

Quentin is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Quentin has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Rennes Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Quentin 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 $2,500 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $125 • Attorney retainer: $2,250 • Certified translations and document copies: $125 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
