Help Savannah with asylum application filing and attorney fees

An asylum application deadline is approaching and Savannah cannot afford the lawyer.

Savannah is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Savannah 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 Savannah 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 $2,200 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $750 • Certified translations and document copies: $165 • Attorney retainer: $1,285 If you're reading this, thank you. - Carol
