🇧🇷 Brazil1,226 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. 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 the Caxias do Sul Community Legal 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 $1,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,000
• Filing and biometrics fees: $105
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Eduardo. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Caxias do Sul.
How is Eduardo doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Eduardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Madrid
