Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Naveen's asylum application
Help Naveen cover the fees of an asylum application so He can stay with his family.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,149 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. 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 Mumbai 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 $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $210
• Filing and biometrics fees: $80
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you, Naveen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Mwanza but we're thinking of you.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Rochester donated after I showed her your page!
Hope it all works out, Naveen. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Take care, Naveen. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
