Legal fees for Chinmay's wage-theft claim in New Delhi

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. 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 $550 goes: • Attorney retainer: $390 • Filing and biometrics fees: $110 • Certified translations and document copies: $40 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10 Thanks for reading all this.
