Work-permit appeal: Florian needs $2,850 before the deadline
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Florian cannot afford the lawyer.
🇩🇪 Germany2,455 views
Florian is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Florian has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Hannover Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Florian 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 $2,850 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $720
• Certified translations and document copies: $170
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210

Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Hannover
Thinking of you and your family, Charlotte. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Chattogram.
Thanks for sharing this, Charlotte. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Pune.
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
