Legal fees for Daniela's work-permit appeal in Columbus
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Daniela can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 United States676 views
Daniela is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Daniela has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $750 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $95
• Certified translations and document copies: $120
• Filing and biometrics fees: $535

Wishing you the best, Santiago. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
