Los Angeles
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,350. 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 Los Angeles 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. 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 $3,350 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,550 • Filing and biometrics fees: $500 • Certified translations and document copies: $145 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $155 Thanks for being kind about this. - Lourdes

    Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
