Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Davide's citizenship application
Davide needs $3,350 for filing fees and representation in a citizenship application before the November deadline.
🇮🇹 Emilia-Romagna, Italy2,294 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,350. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $3,350 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $135
• Attorney retainer: $2,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $665
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bologna
Thank you. If you're in Bologna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope things get better soon, Davide. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Khon Kaen.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 10 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone, Davide. I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Francisco
Rooting for you, Davide. Hope this works out for you.
Stay strong, Davide. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together!
