Work-permit appeal: Soledad needs $550 before the deadline
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Soledad can't afford the lawyer.
🇲🇽 Mexico459 views
I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for August, 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 Tehuacán 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:
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Attorney retainer: $420
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Soledad. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Parma but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Tehuacán
hang in there, Soledad. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Bristol so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Tehuacán
