  1. NEW JERSEY SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE ATTORNEY Unfortunately, the world has too many abandoned, neglected and abused children. However, those children who are also unauthorized immigrants, may have a straightforward path to legal status. What is Special Immigrant Juvenile Status? Special Immigrant Juvenile Status ( SIJ) is a classification given to certain unauthorized immigrant children. Once the status is granted, the child may apply for legal permanent residency despite having entered the U.S. illegally, being unlawfully present in the U.S., or being inadmissible to the U.S. and otherwise barred from applying for permanent residency. Who Qualifies for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status? To qualify for SIJ, the child must meet the following criteria: Must be under 21 years of age;Can’t be married (marriage makes you emancipated); Must be dependent on the court, a government agency, or on someone applying for the child’s custody; Can’t be reunified with one or both parents of the child because they abandoned, neglected or abused you; and It must not be in the child’s best interest to return to their home country.
