I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 San Sebastián 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 $650 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $120 • Filing and biometrics fees: $470 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Osama.

    • Osama Zaid KhalilOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. certified translations and document copies comes first ($120) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
