Legal fees for Carter's citizenship application in Manchester

🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,601 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,750. 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 Manchester 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.
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 $2,750 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $230
• Certified translations and document copies: $250
• Attorney retainer: $2,270
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Carter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Manchester.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Wiesbaden!
Sending love, Carter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going, Carter. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Rabat.
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Manchester
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, Carter. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Arlington but we're thinking of you.
