I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $200. 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 Pretoria Welcome 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $200 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
• Filing and biometrics fees: $135
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Quezon City.
