Work-permit appeal: Kévin needs $3,600 before the deadline
Kévin needs $3,600 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the November deadline.
🇫🇷 Brest, Brittany, France826 views
Kévin is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Kévin has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Brest Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Kévin 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 $3,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,600
• Filing and biometrics fees: $740
• Certified translations and document copies: $160
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brest.
Thank you. If you're in Brest I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Good luck, Valérie. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Abuja
hope this works out for you. Love from Negombo.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Valérie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Tema so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong, Valérie. Hope you get there. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Brest.
looking forward to the next update. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
