Legal fees for Luiz's work-permit appeal in São Paulo
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Luiz can't afford the lawyer.

Luiz is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Luiz has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Luiz 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
Thank you so much.
