Legal fees for Eliana's family reunification petition in Sheffield
Help Eliana cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom3,824 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,800. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $2,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Eliana?
Thank you. If you're in Sheffield I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Kochi.
Sending strength, Eliana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bengaluru.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Thrissur.
Best of luck, Eliana. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Nakhon Ratchasima donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nakhon Ratchasima
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Sending strength, Eliana. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bogotá
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Thinking of you, Eliana. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
