Legal fees for Melanie's family reunification petition in Birmingham
Help Melanie cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,100 views
Melanie is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Melanie has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Birmingham Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Melanie 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 $2,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $340
• Certified translations and document copies: $160
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $200
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from 6th of October City.
Thinking of you and your family, Brian. Hope this works out for you
