Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Ananya's citizenship application
Ananya needs $555 for filing fees and representation in a citizenship application before the November deadline.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India1,023 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $555. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at New Delhi Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
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 $555 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $90
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Certified translations and document copies: $5
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
