Legal fees for Anitha's citizenship application in Nagpur
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Anitha can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,237 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. 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 Nagpur Welcome 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 $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $330
• Filing and biometrics fees: $65
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
