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.
