Anthony needs $2,050 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the July deadline.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,050. 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 Paris 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 $2,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Anthony. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Augsburg
