Legal fees for Nevaeh's family reunification petition in Dayton
Help Nevaeh cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 Ohio, United States2,017 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,350. 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 Dayton 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 $4,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,600
• Filing and biometrics fees: $320
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Nevaeh
Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($1,639). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
We're at 33% thanks to 15 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,327 in total) I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
