Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions

We Handle All Matters Related to Special Immigrant Juvenile Petitions

Experienced Immigration Attorney—New York and Nationwide

Under the American immigration laws, a juvenile who has been subjected to abuse, neglect or abandonment by one or both parents may file a petition to have his or her immigration status changed to that of a lawful permanent resident, despite being in the country illegally. There are, however, a number of limitations on eligibility. If you or someone you love is a minor and may meet the requirements, attorney Jamal Jbara can help you.

Let Us Help You with a Special Immigrant Juvenile Petition

When you come to us, we will carefully consider the facts and circumstances of your case, so that we know whether you qualify for a change of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). We won’t take your case if we don’t think we can win.
If we represent you, the first thing we will do is file the necessary pleadings in family court to get custody or guardianship. We will then carefully gather, evaluate and preserve all evidence to support your petition, and will prepare and file all paperwork or other necessary documentation. We will also be your voice in any hearings, meetings or proceedings throughout the process, including all dealings with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Our ultimate goal, throughout the process, is to have any pending removal/deportation proceedings cancelled and get you a green card.
