Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Aparecida's citizenship application
Help Aparecida cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.
🇧🇷 Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil1,425 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. 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 Vitória da Conquista 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 $1,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $780
• Filing and biometrics fees: $290
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, Aparecida. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you. God bless
Hope it all works out, Aparecida. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Multan but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best, Aparecida. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Gwagwalada this morning.
