Legal fees for Daniela's citizenship application in Sacramento
A citizenship application deadline is approaching and Daniela can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 California, United States4,507 views
Daniela is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Daniela has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Sacramento Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Daniela could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $820
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $205
Thank you for reading my story.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Sakai so I could bring a meal. Love from Guarulhos.
Stay strong, Marta. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from San Jose.
Praying for you, Marta. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Yekaterinburg this morning. Love from Yekaterinburg
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Zaria
