Legal fees for Abhishek's family reunification petition in Kolkata
Abhishek needs $450 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the June deadline.
🇮🇳 West Bengal, India1,128 views
Abhishek is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Abhishek has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Kolkata Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Abhishek could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $310
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.
