I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,400. 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 the Chandler Community Legal 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $4,400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,450
• Filing and biometrics fees: $530
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Na
Good news. Because of your gifts ($550 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $401 so far, I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies.

Thinking of you and your family, Na. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Na. Looking forward to the next update.
