I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for February, 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 Kanpur 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $500 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Filing and biometrics fees: $80
• Attorney retainer: $405
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kanpur.
Best of luck, Ashwin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from San Francisco.
Hope it all works out, Ashwin. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
hope it all works out, Ashwin. Hope you get there. After 18 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
