Legal fees for Bruno's asylum application in Palermo
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Bruno can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, ItalyPosted Oct 1, 20261,035 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. 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 Palermo 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 $2,200 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $320
• Certified translations and document copies: $135
• Attorney retainer: $1,745
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
