Legal fees for Scarlett's asylum application in London

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,600. 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 London 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 $3,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Certified translations and document copies: $140
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
With deep gratitude,
Scarlett

Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of London
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Durham.
