This document is a brief guide to SIJS predicate order practice in Illinois. It does not purport to discuss all aspects of immigration practice related to SIJS. Any individual considering applying for SIJS should be fully screened by a competent immigration attorney prior to attempting to obtain a predicate order. Additional sources should be consulted when more complex questions regarding current law and procedure arise.

This is supplementary to a two-part training for attorneys and legal advocates giving a comprehensive overview of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). Watch Part 1 and Part 2.
