Legal fees for Claudia's residency renewal in Madrid
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Claudia can't afford the lawyer.
🇪🇸 Spain1,131 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $850. 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 Madrid Welcome 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $850 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
• Filing and biometrics fees: $640
• Certified translations and document copies: $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

- Very responsive and caring
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
- Changed my perspective
I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
- Delivered on promises
Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
