I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,900. 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 Rome 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 $1,900 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,000
• Filing and biometrics fees: $640
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
I hope life is good to you.
- Rocco

Sending strength, Rocco. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Zanzibar City.
Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pattaya
