Let Jadeja-Cimone Law, PC help you secure your special immigration status and build a safe future.
At Jadeja-Cimone Law, PC, we specialize in helping young immigrants secure their future through Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status. If you are a minor in the U.S. and cannot reunite with one or both parents due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment, you may qualify for SIJ status—a crucial step toward obtaining a green card and legal stability.
SIJ status is a special immigration classification for minors who have been subject to abuse, neglect, or abandonment by one or both parents. This program provides a pathway to Legal Permanent Residency (LPR) and protection under U.S. immigration law.
How to Apply for SIJ Status?
Navigating the SIJ process can be complex—our experienced attorneys can help!
A juvenile or family court must determine that you meet SIJ criteria.
Submit your application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Once your SIJ petition is approved, you may apply for a green card (Form I-485) if a visa is available.
Who Qualifies for SIJ Status?
If you meet these criteria, you may be eligible to apply for SIJ status and take the next step toward a green card.
