I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,800. 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 Edmonton 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $600
• Certified translations and document copies: $150
Glad we found this place.

Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Oakland donated after I showed her your page
Hope things get better soon, Craig. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
You're not alone, Craig. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Los Angeles.
