Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Aniket's residency renewal
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Aniket can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Dwarka, Delhi, India1,397 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $240
• Filing and biometrics fees: $80
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from San Francisco.
