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.

"Trust your gut and go with Jennifer"Do yourself and your immigration case a favor and choose Jennifer! I needed a criminal immigration lawyer to assist me with applying for naturalization with two previous charges. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, competent, and communicated every step of the way, and her staff was equally friendly and helpful. She explained processes and "what if" questions that helped me understand and ease my mind, and most of all, she gave me hope when other lawyers would not take my case. Our appointments were never rushed, and it felt like she truly cared. Plus, her initial consultation fee and fee for services were actually reasonable and less expensive compared to the other top-rated Houston criminal immigration attorney we first went to who took my consult money without taking my case. Trust your gut and go with Jennifer! You will not be disappointed.- Nico S.

"Jennifer is fantastic in everyway"Put simply, Jennifer is fantastic in everyway. She is very knowledge, very friendly & warm, always smiling, and very patient. She made me feel very comfortable asking questions and did not feel rushed at all. She made sure to listen to all my questions and concerns during my initial consultation and answered all of them either immediately or after a few clicks on her computer. I have only been out of her office for 30 minutes and I've already recommend her to 2 family members :)- Sean A.
