Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Filippo's residency renewal
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Filippo can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇹 Italy1,444 views
Filippo is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Filippo has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Parma Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Filippo 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 $650 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150
• Certified translations and document copies: $160
• Filing and biometrics fees: $340
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
