Anywhere in the world903 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,500. 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 Guadalajara 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 $1,500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,150
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
With deep gratitude,
Roberto

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
What's already covered and what's the $1,500 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($1,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
