Legal fees for Kylie's work-permit appeal in San Antonio
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Kylie can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 United States1,128 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,200. 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 San Antonio 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 $4,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,850
• Filing and biometrics fees: $960
• Certified translations and document copies: $270
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
