Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Willow's residency renewal
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Willow can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Newport, Wales, United Kingdom1,315 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. 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 Newport 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 $700 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $105
• Filing and biometrics fees: $450
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145
I hope life is good to you.

this could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Augsburg.

thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
