Legal fees for Jorge's work-permit appeal in São Paulo

A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Jorge can't afford the lawyer.

São Paulo
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. 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 São Paulo Welcome 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 $1,200 goes: • Attorney retainer: $910 • Filing and biometrics fees: $140 • Certified translations and document copies: $90 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60 Every share and every dollar helps. - Jorge

            Thinking of you and your family, Jorge. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of São Paulo
