I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 the Leeds Community Legal 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 $750 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $550
• Certified translations and document copies: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

This could happen to any of us. Love from Mapo
Take care, Isla. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 23 people at work
Best of luck, Isla. Shared it with a few friends.
this could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Augusta this morning. Thinking of Leeds
So sorry you're going through this, Isla. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Abuja.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
best of luck, Isla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 15 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
