Residency renewal: Ecrin needs $700 before the deadline

A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Ecrin can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. 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 Çankaya 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 $700 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $55 • Attorney retainer: $420 • Filing and biometrics fees: $225 With deep gratitude, Ecrin

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ecrin

      • Ecrin Songül AcarOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. certified translations and document copies comes first ($55) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.

    • Kioko Rashidi Lyimo

      Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Ecrin?

          Thank you. If you're in Çankaya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

          I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
