I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,350. 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 Anaheim Welcome 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 $3,350 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $650 • Certified translations and document copies: $110 • Attorney retainer: $2,590 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    You're not alone, Walker. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Anaheim.

            sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
