Legal fees for Kadiatou's family reunification petition in Marseille
Help Kadiatou cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
🇫🇷 Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France2,897 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,250. 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $530
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Keep going, Kadiatou. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Odesa.
Hang in there, Kadiatou. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
