Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Wilma's work-permit appeal
Help Wilma cover the fees of a work-permit appeal so She can stay with her family.
🇳🇱 2041 NR, Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands1,719 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,100. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $1,100 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $780
• Certified translations and document copies: $240
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.
