Special Immigrant Juvenile Status

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (defined properly at Immigration and Naturalization Act, § 101(a)(27)(J) (codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(27)(J)) is a minor (under the age of 21) who has been separated from one or both of their parents due to abandonment, neglect, or abuse, and who gets a guardianship/custody and special findings order issued by the State Family Court.  After getting the requisite State Court Orders the minor can file a Form I-360 Self-Petition for classification as a Special Immigrant Juvenile, which will later permit them to file for adjustment of status to a legal permanent resident.
