Legal fees for Daniela's citizenship application in Juazeiro do Norte

I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,100. 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 Juazeiro do Norte 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 $1,100 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80 • Filing and biometrics fees: $95 • Attorney retainer: $925 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
