João is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
João has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Ribeirão Preto Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed João could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $550 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $500
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
• Certified translations and document copies: $20

Praying for you, Rafael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Stay strong, Rafael. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
