Gustavo is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,300. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Gustavo has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Austin Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Gustavo 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 $4,300 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220
• Filing and biometrics fees: $350
• Attorney retainer: $3,730

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Quezon City.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Dublin.
