Nizamabad
Meena is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Meena has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Nizamabad Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Meena 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. 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 $550 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $60 • Certified translations and document copies: $20 • Attorney retainer: $470 Glad we found this place.
