Help Wekesa with residency renewal filing and attorney fees
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Wekesa can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world173 views
Wekesa is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Wekesa has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Kasarani Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Wekesa 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 $700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $540
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
With deep gratitude,
Margaret

is there anything that isn't money that would help Wekesa?
Thank you. If you're in Kasarani I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
You're not alone, Margaret. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
