I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. 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 Coventry 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 $3,200 goes: โ€ข Attorney retainer: $2,650 โ€ข Filing and biometrics fees: $330 โ€ข Certified translations and document copies: $70 โ€ข Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150 With deep gratitude, Swati

Updates from Swati

  1. Update from Coventry: I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 4% funded and we've started the first stage.
