Legal fees for Omondi's residency renewal in Embakasi
Omondi needs $400 for filing fees and representation in a residency renewal before the January deadline.
🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya905 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 $400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $240
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Omondi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Omondi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Dwarka this morning. All the best
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
You're not alone, Omondi. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Greetings from Manchester.
