I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,100. 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 Fresno 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $450
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Attorney retainer: $3,475
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Deepak
Small update. $93 so far, I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Fresno: I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
0% there. the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled. Thank you.
