SIJS Cases
COMPASSIONATE SOUTH DAKOTA ATTORNEYS HELP SECURE SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS (SIJS)
When a child faces hardship without the care of a parent, obtaining Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) can provide them with a path to safety, stability, and a brighter future in the United States. At Griese Law Firm, P.C., we understand the urgency and sensitivity of these cases, and we are committed to guiding you through every step of the SIJS process with compassion and expertise. Here’s how we support you:
Determining Eligibility — We assess your child’s situation to determine if they meet the specific criteria for SIJS, such as being under the age of 21, unmarried, and having been declared dependent by a U.S. court.
Navigating Family Court Proceedings — We help you obtain the necessary court orders that declare the child’s eligibility for SIJS, including findings of abuse, neglect, abandonment, or similar circumstances.
Filing for Immigration Relief — Our attorneys handle all the paperwork, including the SIJS petition and any supporting documentation, ensuring your application is complete, accurate, and filed promptly.
Representing You in Hearings — If required, we represent you in court and before immigration authorities, presenting a compelling case for why your child should be granted SIJS.
Providing Continued Support — We stay by your side through the entire process, from the initial application to securing lawful permanent residency (a green card) for your child, ensuring all questions are answered and all obstacles are overcome.
Securing SIJS can be a complex process, but it’s a vital step to protect a vulnerable child and offer them the opportunity for a better life.
