Legal fees for Aarti's work-permit appeal in Howrah

I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. 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 $550 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $430
• Filing and biometrics fees: $55
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
Glad we found this place.
