Legal fees for Bella's work-permit appeal in Edinburgh
Bella needs $1,850 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the June deadline.

I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,850. 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 $1,850 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,550
• Certified translations and document copies: $190
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Islamabad this morning. Blessings.
Good luck, Bella. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Gazipur but we're thinking of you. God bless.
hang in there, Bella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
