Legal fees for Marijke's family reunification petition in Amsterdam
Marijke needs $2,800 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the October deadline.
🇳🇱 North Holland, Netherlands2,611 views
Marijke is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Marijke has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Amsterdam Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Marijke 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 $2,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,050
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Filing and biometrics fees: $675
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
