I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 $600 goes: • Attorney retainer: $450 • Filing and biometrics fees: $65 • Certified translations and document copies: $20 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
