Legal fees for Gianna's asylum application in Miami
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Gianna can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States947 views
Gianna is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Gianna has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Miami Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Gianna 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 $4,400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $610
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160
Glad we found this place.
