FAMILY COURT SHOULD HAVE APPOINTED PETITIONER GUARDIAN OF THE CHILD AND SHOULD HAVE MADE THE FINDINGS NECESSARY TO ALLOW THE CHILD TO PETITION FOR SPECIAL IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined petitioner should have been appointed guardian of the child and Family Court should have made the findings necessary for the child to petition for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS):

Upon our independent factual review of the record, we find that the subject child’s best interests would be served by the appointment of the petitioner as his guardian … . …

… [T]he subject child is under the age of 21 and unmarried, and since we have appointed the petitioner as the subject child’s guardian, the subject child is dependent on a juvenile court within the meaning of 8 USC § 1101(a)(27)(J)(i) … . Further, based upon our independent factual review, the record supports a finding that reunification of the subject child with his father is not a viable option due to parental abandonment … . Lastly, the record reflects that it would not be in the subject child’s best interests to be returned to El Salvador, his previous country of nationality or country of last habitual residence … . Matter of Jose E. S. G., 2021 NY Slip Op 02294, Second Dept 4-14-21
