Gianna is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Gianna has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Los Angeles Welcome 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 $3,950 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $740 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $190 • Attorney retainer: $3,020 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • thanks for sharing this, Declan. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you. Take care.

    • Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gianna.

        • Declan K. BrooksOwnerAnswer

          Filing and biometrics fees is $740 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

      • Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

        • How is Gianna doing now?

          • Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.

            • Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Warren.

              • it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
