Legal fees for Fernanda's family reunification petition in São Paulo
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Fernanda can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil512 views
Fernanda is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Fernanda 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 Fernanda 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $520
• Certified translations and document copies: $70
• Filing and biometrics fees: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace, Edilene. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Edilene. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of São Paulo
