Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Avery's residency renewal
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Avery cannot afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom5,594 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,600. 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 Manchester 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,700
• Filing and biometrics fees: $580
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145
With deep gratitude,
Avery

Small update. $1,585 so far, I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,039 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
