Help Weston with asylum application filing and attorney fees
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Weston cannot afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 United States627 views
Weston is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Weston 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 Weston 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $300
• Attorney retainer: $1,450
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $200
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
