Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Atul's residency renewal
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Atul cannot afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India954 views
Atul is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Atul has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Atul 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 $500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $350
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Zalak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Hang in there, Zalak. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
