Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Wagner's residency renewal
Wagner needs $750 for filing fees and representation in a residency renewal before the November deadline.

Wagner is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Wagner has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Guarulhos Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Wagner 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 $750 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $140
• Attorney retainer: $550
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wagner
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. filing and biometrics fees comes first ($140) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Guarulhos.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bergamo.
Take care, Carlos. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending good thoughts, Carlos. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bornova.
