This webinar will provide an update on how the Trafficking Victims Protection and Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA signed into law on December 23, 2008) is being implemented, specifically focusing on interpretations of the changed eligibility requirements for filing a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) petition. Expert practitioners will share issues, strategies, and updates in obtaining SIJS in light of the TVPRA, including juvenile court orders from dependency, delinquency, and probate courts, and submitting SIJS applications that are acceptable to CIS and the immigration court.

Note: If the regulations interpreting the SIJS statute under the TVPRA have been implemented at the time of this webinar, we will focus on the substance of those regulations.
