🇫🇷 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France1,257 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $470
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180
• Attorney retainer: $1,550
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Mathieu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Take care
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Bengaluru this morning.
