Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Jayanthi's family reunification petition
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Jayanthi can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 India1,728 views
Jayanthi is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Jayanthi has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Prayagraj Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Jayanthi 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 $500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $360
• Filing and biometrics fees: $90
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Odesa so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Prayagraj
Hang in there, Naveen. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
