I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. 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 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 $2,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,000
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
• Filing and biometrics fees: $270
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you, Ziad. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
stay strong, Ziad. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
