Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Shruthi's asylum application
Help Shruthi cover the fees of an asylum application so She can stay with her family.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India627 views
Shruthi is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Shruthi has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Mumbai Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Shruthi could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $400 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $125
• Attorney retainer: $240
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Thanks for reading all this.
