I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. 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 the Aberdeen 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 $3,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,350
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

rooting for you, Lawrence. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Sending strength, Lawrence. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Keep going, Lawrence. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from New Delhi.
So sorry you're going through this, Lawrence. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours!
