Help Sergio with work-permit appeal filing and attorney fees

A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Sergio cannot afford the lawyer.

Sergio is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Sergio has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Alcalá de Henares Community Legal 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 $2,450 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,600 • Filing and biometrics fees: $480 • Certified translations and document copies: $195 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $175 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Sending strength, Juan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier

      • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Kraków so I could bring a meal.
