Legal fees for Walter's asylum application in Nuremberg

Walter needs $3,100 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the November deadline.

Nuremberg
Walter is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Walter has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Nuremberg Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Walter could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know. 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 $3,100 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,500 • Filing and biometrics fees: $370 • Certified translations and document copies: $230 I hope life is good to you. - Sophie

    So sorry you're going through this, Sophie. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

                I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                  Hope things get better soon, Sophie. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
