Relief: Guardianship Order & Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Predicate Order in El Paso County
Language: Spanish
Immigration Hearings: Master Calendar Hearing April 28, 2023, 1:00 PM in Denver
Child 309 was born in Honduras. His parents were unable to provide Child 309 with sufficient clothes and were unable to afford payments for his education. Child 309 began working in agriculture at the age of 9 or 10 in order to continue attending school. As he worked in hazardous conditions, he cut his fingers twice with a machete and cut his neck on a wire. Child 309 is eligible for SIJS based on neglect by his mother and father. Child 309 needs an attorney to assist with a guardianship petition in El Paso County District Court naming his uncle whom he has been living with since entering the United States in May of 2021, as his legal guardian, and an order making findings regarding Child 309's eligibility for SIJS. Upon obtaining the predicate order, child will be represented by a RMIAN attorney to pursue SIJS and other available relief.
