I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. 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 the Agra Community Legal 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Attorney retainer: $410 โ€ข Filing and biometrics fees: $60 โ€ข Certified translations and document copies: $30 โ€ข Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Mousumi

  1. Quick update: $111 raised so far (20%). the plan for filing and biometrics fees is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
