Rio de Janeiro
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. 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 Rio de Janeiro 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. 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 $500 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $50 • Filing and biometrics fees: $95 • Attorney retainer: $355 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
