Legal fees for Andrea's family reunification petition in Móstoles
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Andrea can't afford the lawyer.
🇪🇸 Móstoles, Madrid, Spain1,166 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. 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 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,600
• Filing and biometrics fees: $400
• Certified translations and document copies: $120
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Hang in there, Andrea. Hope you get there.
Thinking of you, Andrea. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Móstoles!
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Móstoles.
Sending good thoughts, Andrea. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
