Legal fees for Umesh's wage-theft claim in Noida
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Umesh can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world200 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 Noida 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.
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 $100 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
• Filing and biometrics fees: $40
With deep gratitude,
Umesh
