Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Hala's residency renewal
Help Hala cover the fees of a residency renewal so She can stay with her family.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia1,175 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,750. 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 Dammam Welcome Centre 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.
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 $1,750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,200
• Filing and biometrics fees: $360
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.
