Legal fees for Raghavan's family reunification petition in Mumbai
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Raghavan can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 India678 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for October, 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 the Mumbai Community Legal 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 $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $210
• Filing and biometrics fees: $100
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
