Legal fees for Dalia's citizenship application in Paris
Help Dalia cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.
🇫🇷 France728 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 Paris 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 $600 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $270
• Certified translations and document copies: $180
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Dalia
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for certified translations and document copies is now scheduled.
Update from Paris: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) the plan for filing and biometrics fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Paris
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dalia
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. filing and biometrics fees comes first ($270) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Athens donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Keep going, Dalia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
you're not alone, Dalia. Shared this with my family. God bless
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 18 people at work.
