Confidential Request for Special Immigrant Juvenile Findings—Family Law

Judicial Council of California · Family Law

Verified current as of July 10, 2026

This form allows a juvenile to request that a California court make special findings needed to help them apply for a special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS) visa, which is a federal immigration benefit for certain abused, neglected, or abandoned minors. A minor in the dependency or family law system uses this form when they need the court to officially confirm their eligibility for SIJS protections so they can pursue permanent residency without needing parental consent.
