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

  • So sorry you're going through this, Ecrin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Blessings

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

      • 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.

    • 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.

      • Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

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