I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,250. 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 Rome 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 $2,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,450
• Filing and biometrics fees: $580
• Certified translations and document copies: $90
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Madina but we're thinking of you.
praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Xalapa donated after I showed her your page.

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from San Diego.
Sending good thoughts, Bohdan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
