I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,000. 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 London 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 $3,000 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $710
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $135
• Attorney retainer: $2,155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending strength, Craig. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of London.
