Wage-theft claim: Lucas needs $350 before the deadline
Lucas needs $350 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the July deadline.

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. 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 Juazeiro do Norte 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 $350 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
• Certified translations and document copies: $110
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Lucas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Toulon.
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Juazeiro do Norte.
Take care, Lucas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Cairo.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
