🇩🇪 Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany1,157 views
Jakob is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Jakob 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 Jakob 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120

best of luck, Theresa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 6 people at work.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Jakob?
Sending strength, Theresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
you're not alone, Theresa. Shared it with a few friends
take care, Theresa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Nuremberg.
Stay strong, Theresa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Stockholm.
good luck, Theresa. Looking forward to the next update. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Nuremberg
Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from București.
Hang in there, Theresa. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
