Service Highlights

For minors who have experienced abandonment, neglect or abuse at the hands of one or both of their parents in their home country and who are now here in the U.S., they can file for “SIJS” status if they have a qualifying petitioner. This requires a predicate order from state court and some complicated filings in family court first, and then a requisite application with USCIS. This is often a better strategy for asylum seeking children and gives them a better chance to “win” their case.

"When my dad got his green card renewal denied for a mistake from another law firm we contact Sweeney Law to help my dad become a U.S. citizen and [not] have to worry about his green card anymore. Sweeney Law made the process super easy. They were [...] organized about everything. Yvanna was amazing. She made the process so much easier and answer[ed] every question we had. My dad pass his citizenship test today and is officially a U.S. citizen. We couldn't be more happy about this accomplishment. We want to thank [The] Sweeney Law Team and Yvanna for the amazing experience."
