Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Susanne's asylum application
Susanne needs $900 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the January deadline.
🇩🇪 Germany1,524 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 the Stuttgart 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 $900 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $730
• Certified translations and document copies: $70
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
Thank you so much.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family, Susanne. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
