Help Sita with residency renewal filing and attorney fees

A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Sita can't afford the lawyer.

Sita is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for August, 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. Sita 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 Sita 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: • Filing and biometrics fees: $590 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220 • Certified translations and document copies: $190 With deep gratitude, Chhaya
