Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Zeynep's family reunification petition
Help Zeynep cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
Anywhere in the world963 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $850. 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.
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 $850 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
• Attorney retainer: $730
• Filing and biometrics fees: $95
With deep gratitude,
Zeynep

You're not alone, Zeynep. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Venice donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Ankara.
Sending strength, Zeynep. Shared this with my family.
