Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Akash's citizenship application
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Akash can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 422893, Nashik, Maharashtra, India778 views
Akash is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Akash has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Nashik Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Akash 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 $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $300
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Pari. This could happen to any of us. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
