Work-permit appeal: Walker needs $2,950 before the deadline
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Walker cannot afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 United States816 views
Walker is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Walker has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Walker could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $2,950 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $800
• Attorney retainer: $2,050
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 35% funded and the plan for court-appointed interpreter and travel is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($1,206). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward attorney retainer.

wishing you the best, Sophie. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Los Angeles.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Campinas.
