I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $850. 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 the Greensboro Community Legal Centre 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.
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 $850 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $250
• Filing and biometrics fees: $520
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Eliana
Quick update: $561 raised so far (66%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 46% funded and the plan for certified translations and document copies is now scheduled.

Hope things get better soon, Eliana. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you, Eliana. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Tlaquepaque this morning.

Rooting for you. Hope you get there. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
