I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 $400 goes: • Attorney retainer: $230 • Filing and biometrics fees: $130 • Certified translations and document copies: $15 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25 Every share and every dollar helps. - Apurva
