Legal fees for Anil's family reunification petition in Pune
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Anil can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. 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 Pune 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.
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 $500 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Attorney retainer: $445
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Anil. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Albuquerque.
Hope things get better soon, Anil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Pune.
take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
