Legal fees for Hüseyin's work-permit appeal in Çankaya
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Hüseyin can't afford the lawyer.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,857 views
Hüseyin is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Hüseyin 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 Hüseyin 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 $1,100 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $840
• Filing and biometrics fees: $200
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hüseyin
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($840) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you, Meltem. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
sending strength. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Taguig this morning. Thinking of Çankaya!
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Meltem. Your post was clear and honest.
