I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. 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. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $2,850 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $260 • Attorney retainer: $1,850 • Filing and biometrics fees: $740 Thanks for reading all this.

    Wishing you the best, Jae-hyun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

      Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
