Legal fees for Beth's asylum application in Jacksonville
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Beth cannot afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Jacksonville, Florida, United States914 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,500. 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 Jacksonville 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 $3,500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,350
• Filing and biometrics fees: $860
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
