Legal fees for Vinícius's asylum application in Brasília
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Vinícius can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil2,840 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,250. 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 Brasília 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 $1,250 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $165
• Attorney retainer: $990
• Certified translations and document copies: $95
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Stay strong, Vinícius. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Biratnagar
Best of luck, Vinícius. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hawassa.
Wishing you peace, Vinícius. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out, Vinícius. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
