Wage-theft claim: Tushar needs $350 before the deadline
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Tushar can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 India1,980 views
Tushar is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Tushar has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Tushar 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 $350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $175
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50

Praying for you, Sandesh. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mukono
rooting for you, Sandesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you and your family, Sandesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Madrid
hope it all works out, Sandesh. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Hubballi.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Machakos.
