I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,300. 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.
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 $3,300 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65
• Attorney retainer: $2,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $685
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

good luck, Claudia. Your post was clear and honest. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Claudia. Hope you get there. Blessings
Best of luck, Claudia. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Anaheim.
