Work-permit appeal: Sipho F needs $650 before the deadline
Sipho F needs $650 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the September deadline.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa692 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 Ekurhuleni 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 $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $390
• Filing and biometrics fees: $160
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.
