I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,350. 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 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $3,350 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,550 • Filing and biometrics fees: $520 • Certified translations and document copies: $145 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $135 With deep gratitude, Riccardo

  3. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($703). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
