Pertains to lawful permanent residents (green card holders). You must have been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, have resided uninterruptedly in the U.S. for at least seven years after being allowed entry in any status, and must not have been found guilty of an aggravated felony (Form EOIR-42A). Meeting every one of these conditions is imperative — failure to satisfy even one requirement will cause a rejection of relief.
Applies to those who are not legal permanent residents, including undocumented individuals. You must establish ongoing physical residency in the U.S. for over ten years, exhibit good moral character throughout that entire duration, and demonstrate that deportation would cause extraordinary and remarkably unusual hardship to a qualifying family member who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident — usually a spouse, parent, or child (Form EOIR-42B).

How We Help You Through the SIJS Process
Step 1: File a Custody Petition in Family Court
We start by filing a custody petition in state family court, establishing a stable living arrangement and allowing the court to issue a Special Findings Order, which is required for SIJS.
Step 2: Apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status
Once custody and special findings are made, we assist in filing the I-360 SIJS petition with USCIS, demonstrating that the child has been abandoned, neglected, or abused and that returning to their home country is not in their best interest.
Step 3: Adjust Status to Lawful Permanent Resident
Once a visa becomes available, we guide the child through the adjustment of status process, securing their green card and a future in the United States.
