Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is a protective status granted to immigrant children that are survivors of abuse, neglect, or abandonment by one of their parents. When granted, the child may qualify for lawful permanent residency, also known as a Green Card, which allows them to remain legally in the United States. In addition, children who qualify for SIJS can become residents through adjustment of status; they do not have to leave the USA to get their residency. In this video, immigration attorney Jennifer Walker Gates details the steps and what is needed to qualify for SIJS.
Many of the unaccompanied children crossing the border are eligible for the Special Juvenile Immigrant Status (SIJS) program. If you know a child that crossed the border unaccompanied and wants to help them, the SIJS program can allow a child to stay in the country and eventually obtain legal permanent residency without having to go back to their country of origin. But in Texas, the child must apply before they turn 18, so contact us as soon as possible.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, announced that the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border dropped by 12%. However, there are still many unaccompanied children crossing the border and Secretary Mayorkas is committed to ensuring these children are quickly processed and kept in a safe, child-friendly environment.
If you desire to become a sponsor for an unaccompanied immigrant minor but are afraid your own immigration status won’t allow it. Jennifer explains that not having legal permanent residency in the United States is not an impediment. The goal is to move all the children into safe environments as quickly as possible. If you know a child in this situation and you wish to assist them, feel free to contact us and schedule a consultation.
At Walker Gates Vela, people ask all the time, “Is there any way to adjust status without leaving the US?” Unfortunately, many family-based immigrants must go through obtaining a waiver and consular processing to get legal status. However, if you have the opportunity to take advantage of 245i Adjustment of Status, you can avoid leaving the United States and can get your residency at a local USCIS office near where you live. In this video, immigration lawyer Jennifer Walker Gates explains the LIFE Act, which includes section 245i of the Immigration and Nationality Act, including how to know if you qualify for 245i adjustment of status, and several common scenarios where people become eligible to adjust status under 245i.
