Legal fees for Puja's work-permit appeal in Jabalpur
Help Puja cover the fees of a work-permit appeal so She can stay with her family.
🇮🇳 Madhya Pradesh, India916 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. 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 Jabalpur 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 $350 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $70
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Attorney retainer: $255
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
