Seda is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Seda 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 Seda 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 $500 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
• Attorney retainer: $270
• Filing and biometrics fees: $180

Stay strong, Derya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seda.
Rooting for you, Derya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Dallas donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Derya. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
