Legal fees for Nazrul's work-permit appeal in Gaya
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Nazrul can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world1,277 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $150. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $150 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Filing and biometrics fees: $95
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
With deep gratitude,
Nazrul

How is Nazrul doing now?
praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Narayanganj so I could bring a meal. Love from Cầu Giấy.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.
