Uma is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $315. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Uma has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Kanpur Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Uma could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $315 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $290
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5
Thank you so much.

good luck, Tejaswini. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
