🇺🇸 United States3,481 views
Amelia is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,900. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Amelia has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at San Diego Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Amelia 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.
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 $2,900 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,150
• Filing and biometrics fees: $340
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.
