Legal fees for Mariana's work-permit appeal in Oaxaca de Juárez

A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Mariana can't afford the lawyer.

Oaxaca de Juárez
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,300. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $1,300 goes: • Attorney retainer: $920 • Filing and biometrics fees: $270 • Certified translations and document copies: $70 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40 With deep gratitude, Mariana
