I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $560. 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 Pune 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $560 goes: • Attorney retainer: $460 • Filing and biometrics fees: $70 • Certified translations and document copies: $25 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
