Case Summary: K is a 15-year-old girl from Mexico. Her home life is challenging in part because her father left to the U.S. to find work and her mother abandoned her when she entered into a different relationship. As a result, she and her 17-year-old sister, A, were sent to live with their maternal grandmother. She and her sister had to leave their grandmother’s house after their mother’s boyfriend attempted to touch K (sexual abuse seems to be implied). They came to the U.S. to live with their father.
Theory of the Case: SIJS based on abandonment and neglect by mother. Once SIJS is approved, court proceedings can be terminated.
Commitment: Asylum – file application, attend interview (if applicable); SIJS – review predicate order, file SIJS application; Removal – terminate court proceedings
Interview: Yes
Court: Unlikely, but yes
Experience level/case team size recommended: Appropriate for any experience level; 1-2 attorneys
