The journey to secure SIJS involves several legal steps, including obtaining a state court order that declares the child cannot reunite with one or both parents due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect, and that it’s not in the child’s best interest to return to their home country. Following this, an application for SIJS can be submitted to USCIS. The process is complex and requires careful handling to ensure the child’s best interests are at the forefront.
