I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Muzaffarpur 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 $400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $260
• Filing and biometrics fees: $65
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care, Bithi. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Muzaffarpur
So sorry you're going through this, Bithi. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
