Legal fees for Asma's family reunification petition in Jeddah
Help Asma cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,054 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,800. 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 Jeddah 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 $1,800 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $70
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Attorney retainer: $1,360
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Asma. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from San Jose!
thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 22 people at work.
