Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Gayathri's asylum application
Gayathri needs $350 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the October deadline.
🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India247 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $290
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Gayathri. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
