Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) for Immigrant Youth Under 21
What is Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)?
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is one of the few immigration options available for immigrant youth under the age of 21 who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. This legal status provides vital protection, allowing young people to remain in the United States, obtain a work permit (employment authorization for 4 years) and eventually apply for a Green Card and US Citizenship.
Why SIJS is Critical for Immigrant Youth
For many young immigrants, SIJS represents a rare and crucial opportunity to secure legal status in the U.S. Without this protection, they may face deportation and an uncertain future. However, it is essential to act quickly, as applicants must file before turning 21. Missing this hard deadline means losing eligibility and the chance to pursue legal residency.
The SIJS Process and How We Can Help
The process of applying for SIJS can be complex and involves multiple steps, including obtaining a Family court order of custody or guardianship and an order of special findings and filing I-360 immigration petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Our experienced legal team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your petition is handled with the care and attention it deserves.
