Santhosh is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Santhosh has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Pune Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Santhosh 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 $700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $520
• Filing and biometrics fees: $100
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Santhosh.
It's all in the list in the story. attorney retainer is the big one at $520, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Sacramento.
