Residency renewal: Mwangi needs $600 before the deadline
Help Mwangi cover the fees of a residency renewal so He can stay with his family.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Kenya2,629 views
I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 Likoni 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.
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 $600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $60
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
