I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. 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 Syracuse Welcome Centre 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 $1,200 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180
• Filing and biometrics fees: $880
• Certified translations and document copies: $140
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts, Adeline. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
