Legal fees for Kennedy's family reunification petition in San Diego
Kennedy needs $2,300 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the July deadline.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States599 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,300. 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 San Diego 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.
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 $2,300 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,350
• Filing and biometrics fees: $790
• Certified translations and document copies: $160
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope it all works out, Kennedy. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Richards Bay so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Take care, Kennedy. Shared it with a few friends.
