Sergio is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Sergio has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Puebla Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Sergio 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 $1,000 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $740
• Filing and biometrics fees: $170
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Carolina. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Swansea.
sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Puebla.
