Sadie is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,000. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Sadie has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Sadie could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know. 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 $3,000 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,250 • Certified translations and document copies: $145 • Filing and biometrics fees: $605 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Natalia
