2017 Update on Special Immigrant Juvenile Issues

The Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) application is an excellent and relatively fast affirmative or defensive alternative for qualified juvenile immigrants. However, several roadblocks have recently arisen, including: retrogression of the EB-4 visa category for Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Honduran juveniles; the increasingly overwhelmed family courts; and USCIS giving stricter scrutiny of the SIJ family court order. Our panelists will discuss how to help your SIJ client in this increasingly challenging environment.

Topics:

• EB-4 Retrogression: How Does It Affect Juveniles in Removal Proceedings?
• How to Deal with Retrogression for SIJ Applications Before EOIR
• Common Issues in State Courts: Strategies and Best Practices
• Ensuring Your Client’s Family Court Order Will Withstand USCIS Scrutiny
