Legal fees for Valentina's citizenship application in Glasgow
Help Valentina cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.
🇬🇧 Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom4,839 views
I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,000. 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 Glasgow 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 $3,000 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $510
• Certified translations and document copies: $220
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Howrah this morning.
praying for you, Valentina. Hope you get there. Thinking of Glasgow.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Best of luck, Valentina. Hope you get there. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Valentina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Kozhikode
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Corpus Christi
keep going, Valentina. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
