Stockholm
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. 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 Stockholm 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 $2,850 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $130 • Attorney retainer: $2,350 • Filing and biometrics fees: $370 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nils

          Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Marseille!
