Legal fees for Hyun-ju's asylum application in Fort Worth
Help Hyun-ju cover the fees of an asylum application so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 United States2,753 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,350. 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 Fort Worth 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 $4,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $450
• Certified translations and document copies: $190
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts, Hyun-ju. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hyun-ju?
Thank you. If you're in Fort Worth I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Stay strong, Hyun-ju. Hope you get there!
Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Gazipur.
