I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,750. 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 $1,750 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,350 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110 • Certified translations and document copies: $290 Thank you for reading my story. - Aaliyah

    Thinking of you and your family, Aaliyah. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

    • Mackenzie G. King

      Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Medina.

      • Víctor N. Lozano

        wishing you peace, Aaliyah. Shared this with my family.

          You're not alone. Hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

          • Ayanda G. Jacobs

            Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!

            • Élodie Josiane Dupuis

              Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
