Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Andrés's family reunification petition
Help Andrés cover the fees of a family reunification petition so He can stay with his family.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States926 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,250. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $3,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,200
• Filing and biometrics fees: $800
• Certified translations and document copies: $95
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $155
If you're reading this, thank you.
