I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,100. 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 Pittsburgh 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $4,100 goes: • Attorney retainer: $3,250 • Filing and biometrics fees: $540 • Certified translations and document copies: $210 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100 Thank you so much. - Tuyết

Updates from Tuyết

  1. Small update. $722 so far, I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($467). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

    Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nottingham.

        Hope things get better soon, Tuyết. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Pittsburgh.

          Keep going, Tuyết. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
