What is a Juvenile Visa?
Juvenile Visas, often referred to as Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), provide a pathway to lawful permanent residency (a Green Card) for minors under 21 years of age who have been subject to abuse, neglect, or abandonment by one or both parents. This immigration relief is designed to protect vulnerable children and provide them with a safe and stable environment in the United States.

- The court must have determined that reunification with one or both parents is not viable due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

"I have referred family and friends to her"Do not let her young looks fool you. After having a terrible experience with Jose Vega, i found Jennifer and she exceeded our expectations. Not only does she make you feel welcomed, but also gives you a sense of ease. She loyally stood by our side through the years that courts prolonged the process. I have referred family and friends to her because she is that good. Her and her assistant Maura were just great at responding to our concerns. Thank you guys, we wish you the best ✌- Ferdinand D G.
