Unaccompanied Minors
Protecting children navigating the immigration system alone.
SJC provides dedicated legal representation to unaccompanied minors, children who arrive in the United States without a parent or guardian. These young people face unique challenges in the immigration system, and SJC ensures they have skilled legal advocates to protect their rights and pursue every available form of relief.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)
SJC represents unaccompanied minors in obtaining Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, which provides a path to lawful permanent residency for children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents.
Asylum for Children
Many unaccompanied minors flee violence, gang recruitment, or persecution in their home countries. SJC provides full-scope asylum representation for these children, ensuring their stories are heard and their claims are presented effectively in court.
