Legal fees for Keith's work-permit appeal in Manchester
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Keith can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom1,945 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,150. 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 Manchester 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $200
• Attorney retainer: $1,900
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Keith. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Keith. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
thinking of you and your family, Keith. Shared this with my family. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from București
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Lalitpur.
Praying for you, Keith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
you're not alone, Keith. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. After 16 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
