Legal fees for Dylan's residency renewal in Los Angeles
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Dylan can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 California, United States4,246 views
Dylan is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Dylan has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Los Angeles Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Dylan 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $720
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Eli. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thinking of you, Eli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Hope this works out for you. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
wishing you peace, Eli. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending strength, Eli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Gwagwalada this morning. God bless.
