Mumbai
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Mumbai Welcome 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $400 goes: • Attorney retainer: $270 • Filing and biometrics fees: $55 • Certified translations and document copies: $35 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Geetha
