The California Petition for Special Immigrant Juvenile Findings is a legal petition used by minors in California who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both of their parents. The petition is used to apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIX) status, which is a form of legal immigration status that allows eligible immigrant minors to remain in the United States and apply for permanent residency. The petition is used to demonstrate that the minor would be at risk of harm if returned to their home country. There are two types of California Petition for Special Immigrant Juvenile Findings: 1) A petition for a finding of dependency and 2) A petition for a finding of reunification. The petition for a finding of dependency is used when a minor is currently in the custody of a social services agency in California. The petition for a finding of reunification is used when the minor is not in the custody of a social services agency. Both petitions require evidence such as medical records, court orders, and witness statements to demonstrate that the minor is eligible for SIX status.
