Pretoria
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. 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 Pretoria 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 $550 goes: β€’ Attorney retainer: $370 β€’ Filing and biometrics fees: $85 β€’ Certified translations and document copies: $45 β€’ Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Karin

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Karin?

      Thank you. If you're in Pretoria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

      It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Kaduna.
