Legal fees for Marie's family reunification petition in Hannover
Help Marie cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,950. 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 Hannover 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.
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 $1,950 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $185
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
• Attorney retainer: $1,275
Thanks for being kind about this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hannover.
Thank you. If you're in Hannover I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hang in there, Marie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bengaluru.
