San Diego Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS): Protecting Vulnerable Minors

At the Law Office of Armando Murillo Jr., we understand the complexities of immigration law and the unique challenges faced by immigrant minors. If you are a young person in San Diego who has experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment by one or both parents, you may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). Our dedicated immigration attorneys can guide you through the SIJS process and advocate for your right to remain safely in the U.S.

What is Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)?

SIJS is a unique pathway to lawful permanent residency (green card) for certain undocumented immigrant minors in the United States. To be eligible, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be unmarried and under 21 years old.
• Be in the United States without lawful immigration status (undocumented).
• Be unable to reunify with one or both of your parents because of abuse, abandonment, neglect, or similar basis under state law and it is not in your best interest to return to your country of nationality.
• Be dependent on the court, or in the custody of a state agency or department or an individual or entity appointed by the court
