Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Jackson's asylum application

An asylum application deadline is approaching and Jackson can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,650. 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 the Macon Community Legal 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 $3,650 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,450 • Filing and biometrics fees: $760 • Certified translations and document copies: $230 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Jackson
