SIJ involves two steps: a state-court order and a federal petition with USCIS.

If the minor lives in another state, contact us and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

Frequently asked questions

The petition must be filed before the minor turns 21, and depending on the state the court order may require acting much earlier. An early evaluation matters.
