Legal fees for Camila's citizenship application in Los Angeles
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Camila can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world962 views
Camila is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Camila has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Camila could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,350
• Filing and biometrics fees: $570
• Certified translations and document copies: $185
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $95
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
