Legal fees for Fábio's family reunification petition in São Paulo
Help Fábio cover the fees of a family reunification petition so He can stay with his family.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,936 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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.
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 $800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $590
• Filing and biometrics fees: $120
• Certified translations and document copies: $90
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Entebbe so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Fábio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Nijmegen
You're not alone, Fábio. 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 São Paulo!
take care. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Kisumu.
Wishing you the best, Fábio. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Coimbatore this morning. God bless
