**LPC Services prepares and organizes the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) file.** It protects minors who suffered **abandonment, neglect, or abuse** by one or both parents, and opens the door to permanent legal status.
### Age is the most critical factor
This is the process where time matters most. The **age limit changes depending on the state** where the minor lives: in some jurisdictions the door closes at 18 and in others at 21. Reaching that age without having started the process can close this route permanently.
If the minor is close to that date, the file is handled at top speed. Write to us with the date of birth and the state of residence — that is the first thing to verify.
### If the minor works with an ITIN
When a young person works to support the family using an ITIN, that income must be **reported correctly and under their own name**. Improper use of identity or an inconsistent filing complicates the case, because SIJS requires showing the real situation of financial dependence. We review that documentation so what is reported and what is filed match.
### What this service includes
- Verification of the applicable age limit based on the state of residence
- Organization of state court documentation (custody and findings)
- Collection of birth certificates, identification, and proof of relationship
- Review of the minor's tax and employment documentation when applicable
- Certified translations of home-country documents
- Drafting and structuring the supporting declaration
- Complete Form I-360 packet assembly
- Final consistency review before submission
### Who is this for?
For **unmarried minors** in the United States who cannot reunify with one or both parents due to abandonment, abuse, or neglect, and for whom a state court has issued the corresponding findings.
Proceedings before the state court and USCIS are handled by the licensed attorney assigned to the case. LPC Services prepares and organizes the documentation; we are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice.
