Work-permit appeal: Regina needs $1,250 before the deadline
Regina needs $1,250 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the October deadline.

I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,250. 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 León 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.
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 $1,250 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $850
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.
