THIRD DEPT OFFERS AN IN DEPTH EXPLANATION OF THE SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS (SIJS) CRITERIA AND, REVERSING FAMILY COURT, FINDS THE CHILD MET THE FIVE CRITERIA (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing Family Court, in a comprehensive decision explaining in depth the relevant law, made findings allowing the child to apply for special immigrant juvenile status (SJIS):

Before a child may seek SIJS from USCIS, a state court with jurisdiction over the juvenile must first issue a special findings order determining that (1) the child is under the age of 21, (2) the child is unmarried, (3) the child is dependent upon a juvenile court or legally committed to an individual appointed by that court, (4) reunification with one or both parents is not viable due to abuse, neglect, abandonment or a similar basis under state law and (5) it would not be in the child’s best interests to return to his or her native country … . By issuing a special findings order, Family Court is not rendering an immigration determination … ; such order is merely a step in the process to assist USCIS and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, in making the ultimate immigration determination … . Matter of Keilyn GG. (Marlene HH.), 2018 NY Slip Op 02226, Third Dept 3-29-18
