I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,600. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $3,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $700
• Certified translations and document copies: $95
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $155
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope this works out for you. After 15 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
