I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,750. 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 Berlin 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. 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 $1,750 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $590 • Attorney retainer: $980 • Certified translations and document copies: $180 Thanks for being kind about this.

  2. Update from Berlin: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
