I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,450. 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 Naples 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.
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 $2,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $350
• Certified translations and document copies: $190
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace, Pavel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up!
Thinking of you and your family, Pavel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Regensburg donated after I showed her your page.
