I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $410. 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 $410 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $310
• Filing and biometrics fees: $75
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Siliguri.
Thinking of you, Komal. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Komal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending love, Komal. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Komal. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Siliguri.
