Help Aiden Stay with His Family

**UPDATE**
Thank you everyone for surpassing our goals in just over 1 hour! We will be able to afford all the government filing fees and pay for representation to complete the process. While we do not foresee any other hurdles, thanks to everyone's support, we will also be prepared for any other roadblocks that may come up. We are pledging any unused funds to charity in order to help other families in similar situations. Thank you all again! We love you.
Hi! I'm Aiden, and I'm an intending immigrant into the USA. I'm also a new father, to my beautiful 7 month old baby boy. I have been going through the process of getting permanent residency since marrying my wonderful wife in 2017. Everything had been going well — the agent at my interview even said so — but due to a clerical error, I was denied.
This has been a huge blow to our lives. Even though we have options through the proper channels, they all have a huge price tag. I am desperate to stay with my son and wife, who have American citizenship and can't come with me if we are separated.
Because we now have to overturn the decision on my immigration proceedings, we must now have legal representation to fulfill all the requirements and evidence for an air-tight case.
We are going for the most cost effective avenue available to us, and are asking for $2000 to cover the cost of these next steps. We both work, and are able to get by taking care of our little boy and ourselves, but just simply can't afford to pay for what we are told is a "simple fix," and we are desperate to stay together.
Our window is very tight, and we have less than 3 weeks to gather all the materials for our case together. At this point, we haven't even been able to formally hire the attorney, so we are hoping to meet our funding goals within a week; 2 at most. While most of the cost is for the representation, we must also pay the government for filing the case and all the proceedings afterwards.
Thank you for reading this far into our story. We appreciate you and any help you may be able to spare.
