I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $100. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $100 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Filing and biometrics fees: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Agra
keep going, Ashok. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ashok!
Sure. The biggest one is court-appointed interpreter and travel, $15. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Agra
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Agra.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Stockholm this morning
