Carter is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Carter has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Auckland Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Carter 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. 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 $2,850 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,000 • Certified translations and document copies: $190 • Filing and biometrics fees: $660 I hope life is good to you. - Brandon

Updates from Brandon

  1. Small update. $1,632 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Quick update: $787 raised so far (28%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($552 in total) the plan for filing and biometrics fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
