SIJS
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status for Young Adults 18-21 Years Old
Navigating the complexities of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) cases for young adults aged 18-21 in California requires specialized knowledge and professional legal counsel. At Juvenile Visa Law Group, P.C., we are dedicated to assisting young adults in securing their legal status and ensuring a stable future through the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status process.
To Qualify
Understanding SIJS Eligibility for Young Adults 18-21
To qualify for SIJS, a California Probate Court must determine that the undocumented young adult, aged 18-21, was abused, abandoned, and neglected, by one or both of their parents.
The court must also determine that reunification with the undocumented young adult’s parent(s) is not viable due to abuse, abandonment and/or neglect.
Lastly, the court must find that it is not in the young adult’s best interest to return to his or her country of nationality or last habitual residence.
These three determinations are critical in allowing the young adult to apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Age Considerations and Challenges
Acting Promptly
While the USCIS permits SIJS applications up to the age of 21, it is essential to initiate the process as soon as possible. The legal landscape can be more complicated for young adults approaching the age limit, and certain counties within California may have additional local requirements that could significantly impact the young adult’s ability to obtain the necessary Special Immigrant Juvenile findings and orders in a timely fashion. Acting promptly can help avoid potential legal hurdles and ensure a smoother process.
