I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,450. 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 Dundee 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 $3,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $670
• Certified translations and document copies: $190
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon, Basma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Noida
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
