I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for July, 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 Denver Welcome 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:
• Attorney retainer: $1,200
• Filing and biometrics fees: $410
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Thanks for reading all this.
- Michelle

wishing you peace, Michelle. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Paris but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Paris.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!
