I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. 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 Raleigh 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 $2,950 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $125 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $185 • Attorney retainer: $2,640 Every share and every dollar helps. - Autumn

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Raleigh.

    • Rubina Sumaiya Ahmed

      Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Manchester.

      • Greyson R. Hunter
