Daniel is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Daniel has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Anaheim Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Daniel 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 $2,700 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $100 • Attorney retainer: $2,500 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100 Thanks for reading all this. - Sharon
