Legal fees for Sandra's work-permit appeal in Guarulhos
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Sandra can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,758 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 Guarulhos 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.
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 $650 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Attorney retainer: $500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $75
Glad we found this place.
