URGENT
My heart is racing as I’m writing this because I’ve started having nightmares about this situation because it’s scary. Long story short, my visa is in the process of being renewed but they have taken so long to process my visa that I am not allowed to work until I receive the new one. I have an incredible job but they have legally removed me from the workplace until I receive my visa.
Financial needs and situation:
The timelines are all unclear
Visa: will be ready in 1-2 weeks, no later than august 14th
Job shifts: have all been canceled until further notice, no guarantee of any amount of work beyond the 14th more than 4 hours/day (which will not be enough to survive
Payment for this months rent: due on the 21st but can be deferred until later ($900)
Move out cost: received and email and it’s unclear when it will be due but I might need to pay it in Monday. ($900)
Moving cost: will be due next week or I won’t secure housing ($1200)
Working on Cambly $10 per hour is just not enough money to cover my rent ($900/month) for two months and my moving expenses ($1200)! If you’re able to help, I really appreciate it. This problem is so temporary but much more difficult than I expected. I need assistance
If you can, please help!
(Thank you to the $600 in donations through PayPal as well! I have reached out to each of you individually to thank you)
