Work-permit appeal: Heloísa needs $200 before the deadline
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Heloísa cannot afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Brazil765 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $200. 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 Petrópolis 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.
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 $200 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Filing and biometrics fees: $105
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Heloísa. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Good luck, Heloísa. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Caruaru this morning. Thinking of Petrópolis
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Keep going, Heloísa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Heloísa. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Stay strong, Heloísa. Your post was clear and honest.
Good luck, Heloísa. Shared it with a few friends
Praying for you, Heloísa. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
