Legal fees for Tarun's family reunification petition in Coimbatore
A family reunification petition deadline is approaching and Tarun can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 India1,404 views
I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for June, 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $185
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Cần Thơ.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Bonny!
Sending love, Tarun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
