Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ)

The Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) program is a vital immigration benefit designed to protect immigrant children in the United States who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. At Wu Law group, our Attorneys provide compassionate and skilled representation to help young people obtain legal status and build a safe, stable future.

What Is SIJ Status?

SIJ status allows certain undocumented children under the age of 21 to apply for lawful permanent residency (a green card) if a state juvenile court determines that:

The child has been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents
It is not in the child’s best interest to return to their country of origin
The child is under the jurisdiction of a state court (such as through foster care, guardianship, or custody proceedings)

Benefits of SIJ Status

Eligibility to apply for a green card and eventually U.S. citizenship
Protection from deportation or removal
Legal authorization to live and work in the United States
A pathway to a more secure and stable future
