I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,150. 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 $1,150 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $980
• Filing and biometrics fees: $70
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ahmet
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($980) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family, Ahmet. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of İzmir.
any update on how things are going in İzmir?
praying for you, Ahmet. Your post was clear and honest
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Worcester.

Thank you. If you're in İzmir I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
