Legal fees for Johan's work-permit appeal in Eindhoven
Help Johan cover the fees of a work-permit appeal so He can stay with his family.
🇳🇱 Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands699 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,000. 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 Eindhoven 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 $3,000 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $200
• Attorney retainer: $2,600
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $200
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

take care, Johan. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Eindhoven.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Reading.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Athens this morning
Best of luck, Johan. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Eindhoven.
