🇸🇦 Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia2,118 views
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.

We're at 53% thanks to 21 of you. I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
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.
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
Stay strong, Wafa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Riyadh.
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
