USCIS has announced that children eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) with priority dates on or before January 1, 2023, can now file for green cards as of the April 2026 Visa Bulletin. This update marks a significant step forward in the immigration process for these vulnerable youth.
Key Details:
- Eligibility: SIJS children with priority dates ≤ January 1, 2023
- Filing period: Effective immediately as of April 2026 Visa Bulletin
- Green card application: Allows eligible children to transition to permanent residency
- Resources: Assistance available through Project Libertad and End SIJS Backlog
This change is expected to alleviate some of the backlog faced by SIJS applicants, providing a clearer path to permanent residency for affected children. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
