Does this sound familiar?
A young person who experienced abuse, abandonment or neglect by their parents may be entitled to their own immigration protection, but the path combines a state court and USCIS, with different documents and timelines in each phase. Without the order, the process stalls; and with the order in hand, the petition must be filed complete and well organized. You need clarity on which phase comes first, which documents to gather, and who must do each part.
What is Juvenile Visa?
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is a protection for young people under 21, unmarried, living in the United States who suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect by one or both parents. The process has two phases: an order from a state juvenile court (which must be handled by a licensed attorney) and a petition before USCIS. We prepare and organize the document package for the immigration phase, in coordination with the attorney handling the court phase.
This is for you if…
Under 21 and unmarried
The protection applies before turning 21 and while unmarried.
Suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect
By one or both parents, inside or outside the U.S.
With a juvenile court case
