Legal fees for Payal's work-permit appeal in Nizamabad
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Payal can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Nizamabad, Telangana, India1,098 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. 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 Nizamabad 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $260
• Filing and biometrics fees: $145
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Atlanta
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mysuru.
Thanks for sharing this, Payal. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
Hope it all works out, Payal. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Kingston.
shared this with my family. We're a small family in Bekasi but we're thinking of you. Take care
