Legal fees for Aiden's family reunification petition in Glasgow
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Aiden can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Scotland, United Kingdom311 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $850. 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 the Glasgow Community Legal 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $850 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $120
• Filing and biometrics fees: $670
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.
