Work-permit appeal: Landon needs $2,200 before the deadline
Landon needs $2,200 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the November deadline.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States1,229 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. 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 San Francisco 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 $2,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $350
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
