Help Nicolás cover the fees of an asylum application so He can stay with his family.
🇺🇸 United States1,875 views
Nicolás is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $900. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Nicolás has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the San Francisco Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Nicolás could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $900 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $220
• Filing and biometrics fees: $440
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $240
Thank you for reading my story.
