Legal fees for Lorena's asylum application in Campinas
Lorena needs $950 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the December deadline.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil908 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $950. 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 Campinas 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $195
• Certified translations and document copies: $50
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Lorena. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Campinas!
