Ling is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Ling has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Sacramento Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Ling could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $920
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Certified translations and document copies: $180
Thank you so much.

Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($400). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Hope things get better soon, Jun. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you the best, Jun. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Take care, Jun. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
hope things get better soon, Jun. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Taguig
