Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Salim's asylum application
Salim needs $150 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the February deadline.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya1,058 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $150. 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 the Likoni Community Legal 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 $150 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Filing and biometrics fees: $95
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Salim. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
