Legal fees for Emily's work-permit appeal in Sacramento
Emily needs $900 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the December deadline.

I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $900. 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.
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 $900 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $195
• Filing and biometrics fees: $510
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $195
I hope life is good to you.
