Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Mukesh's family reunification petition
Help Mukesh cover the fees of a family reunification petition so He can stay with his family.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India960 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Mysuru 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $290
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
• Filing and biometrics fees: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending good thoughts, Mukesh. Hope you get there. Greetings from London
Take care, Mukesh. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Love from Casablanca
Rooting for you, Mukesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
