Work-permit appeal: Ana needs $750 before the deadline
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Ana can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,457 views
Ana is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Ana has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Duque de Caxias Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Ana 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 $750 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $50
• Filing and biometrics fees: $175
• Attorney retainer: $525
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I hope things turn around soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Leonardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Cologne but we're thinking of you. Love from Cologne.
thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
