Legal fees for Shailesh's work-permit appeal in Bengaluru
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Shailesh can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world615 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 Bengaluru 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 $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $240
• Filing and biometrics fees: $50
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
Glad we found this place.
