Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Ting's asylum application
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Ting can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 United States919 views
Ting is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Ting has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Joliet Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Ting 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,200
• Filing and biometrics fees: $410
• Certified translations and document copies: $220
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Joliet.
