Bologna
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. 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 Bologna 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 $2,700 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,100 • Filing and biometrics fees: $420 • Certified translations and document copies: $80 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Take care, Noemi. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Turin.

    • Stay strong, Noemi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Regina.
