Residency renewal: Kerem needs $1,050 before the deadline
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Kerem can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world2,341 views
Kerem is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,050. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Kerem has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Ankara Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Kerem could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $150
• Attorney retainer: $850
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Seda. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Boulogne-Billancourt this morning.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Tacoma
Thinking of you and your family, Seda. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Keep going, Seda. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Take care!
