Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Jorge's citizenship application

I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $150. 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 Iztapalapa 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $150 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $90 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20 • Certified translations and document copies: $40 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Jorge

  1. Quick update: $30 raised so far (20%). I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Iztapalapa: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
