I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,450. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $3,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,650
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220
• Filing and biometrics fees: $580
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Gustavo. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Warsaw.
