I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,450. 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 Riyadh 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 $1,450 goes: • Attorney retainer: $780 • Filing and biometrics fees: $510 • Certified translations and document copies: $160 Thank you so much. - Wafa

Updates from Wafa

  1. We're at 53% thanks to 21 of you. I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($344 in total) I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hang in there, Wafa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mumbai.

    • Ana Cristiane Pinto

      Hope it all works out, Wafa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      • Isaac W. Hawkins

        Stay strong, Wafa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Riyadh.

        • Lucas Dupuis

          take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings

          • Brian Daniel Bakari

            So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
