Legal fees for Burak's family reunification petition in Ankara
Burak needs $650 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the November deadline.
🇹🇷 Ankara, Ankara, Türkiye713 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $175
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Burak?
Thank you. If you're in Ankara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Johannesburg.

keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Faisalabad.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Swansea so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts, Burak. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from São Paulo.
