Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Caroline's citizenship application

Help Caroline cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.

Caroline is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Caroline has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Sydney Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Caroline 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 $3,150 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,100 • Certified translations and document copies: $220 • Filing and biometrics fees: $830 Every share and every dollar helps.
