Andrew is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Andrew has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Fort Worth Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Andrew 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,000
• Filing and biometrics fees: $770
• Certified translations and document copies: $300
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
