Special Immigrant Juvenile Status Referral Form

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Referral Form

For Dependency Only
Dear Partners,

Below is the dedicated Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Referral Form. Please review the following information thoroughly before entering a submission.

For Dependency: LCYC will file the dependency petition (see a list of counties we serve below). After filing, LCYC will transition the case to a court appointed attorney, who will oversee the rest of the dependency proceedings. The immigration attorney must work with the court appointed attorney from that point forward in order to secure the Findings and Order Regarding Eligibility for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (FOSIJS).

Eligibility: Dependency filings are limited to youths between the ages of 16 and 17.5 with stable housing at the time of referral (no exceptions on age).

Counties Served: LCYC files dependency petitions in these counties: Adams, Benton, Clark, Cowlitz, Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, King, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Skagit, Skamania, Thurston, Walla Walla, and Yakima. Please check that your county is listed before making a referral.

For any inquiries or additional assistance with this form, please contact Taylor Faranda at Taylor@lcycwa.org
