Héctor is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Héctor has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Héctor 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 $4,600 goes: • Attorney retainer: $3,400 • Filing and biometrics fees: $820 • Certified translations and document copies: $210 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170 Thank you for reading my story. - Fernando

  • Thinking of you, Fernando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

    • Sending strength, Fernando. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Miami!
