Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Chebet's residency renewal
Chebet needs $400 for filing fees and representation in a residency renewal before the September deadline.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya206 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Mombasa 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 $400 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
• Attorney retainer: $330
I hope life is good to you.
