Rakesh is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $355. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Rakesh has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Mumbai Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Rakesh could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $355 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $250
• Filing and biometrics fees: $75
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5
Thank you for reading my story.
