Legal fees for Eleanor's residency renewal in Portland
Help Eleanor cover the fees of a residency renewal so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 Oregon, United States958 views
Eleanor is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,000. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Eleanor 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 Eleanor 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 $2,000 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220
• Attorney retainer: $1,400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $380
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Nova. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Portland!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about court-appointed interpreter and travel, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Take care, Nova. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
take care, Nova. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you.
