Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Aria's residency renewal

Aria is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Aria has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the London Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Aria could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know. 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 $2,150 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,250 • Filing and biometrics fees: $580 • Certified translations and document copies: $100 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220 Thank you for reading my story. - Brenda
