Help Rajesh with residency renewal filing and attorney fees
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Rajesh can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India487 views
Rajesh is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Rajesh 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 Rajesh 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 $400 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Attorney retainer: $350
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Vasanthi. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Abbottabad this morning. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Pattaya.
Sending strength, Vasanthi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Sending love. Hope you get there. Love from Pune.
