Legal fees for Weston's residency renewal in Joliet
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Weston can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 United States2,566 views
Weston is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Weston has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Joliet Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Weston 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,000
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $190
With deep gratitude,
James
