I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,750. 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,750 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,850 • Filing and biometrics fees: $570 • Certified translations and document copies: $165 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $165 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Hadley

  1. Update from Edinburgh: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($123 in total) I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
