Residency renewal: Luana needs $800 before the deadline
A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Luana can't afford the lawyer.

Luana is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Luana has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Santos Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Luana 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $470
• Filing and biometrics fees: $230
• Certified translations and document copies: $90
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!
