Denise is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Denise has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Los Angeles Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Denise 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,350 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $720 • Attorney retainer: $1,500 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - David

      So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from San Francisco.
