I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,550. 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 Mecca 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 $1,550 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,150 • Filing and biometrics fees: $195 • Certified translations and document copies: $75 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Nada

  1. Small update. $799 so far, I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees.

  2. Update from Mecca: I made the first payment toward attorney retainer. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($162). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for certified translations and document copies is now scheduled.
