Legal fees for Apurva's residency renewal in Ahmedabad
Help Apurva cover the fees of a residency renewal so She can stay with her family.
🇮🇳 Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India831 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $250. 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 Ahmedabad 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.
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 $250 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Attorney retainer: $190
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Apurva. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Uppsala.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 20 people at work!
Hope things get better soon, Apurva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Ahmedabad.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you. All the best.
