Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Paisley's residency renewal
Help Paisley cover the fees of a residency renewal so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 United States3,491 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,300. 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 Sacramento 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 $2,300 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $530
• Certified translations and document copies: $280
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 31 people at work. Take care.
hope things get better soon, Paisley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Haarlem.
Sending strength, Paisley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Sacramento.
