SIJS intake that captures age, custody status, and abuse history up
The intake asks whether the applicant is under 21, unmarried, and has been abused, neglected, or abandoned by a parent, then requests a birth certificate or other proof of parentage before the case reaches your CRM.

What a qualified special immigrant juvenile status lead should tell you
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status is immigration relief for an unmarried applicant under 21, physically present in the U.S., who has been abused, neglected, or abandoned by a parent and is in the care of a guardian, agency, or state court that can make the required custody/dependency findings.

The questions your team needs answered
Every special immigrant juvenile status intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you currently under 21 years old? | SIJS eligibility depends on the applicant being under 21, so this answer directly gates whether the matter is worth taking on. |
| Are you currently in the United States? | Physical presence in the U.S. is a threshold requirement for SIJS, so a no answer signals the case likely doesn't fit this relief. |
| Are you unmarried? | Unmarried status is a core statutory requirement, so a no answer is an early sign the applicant doesn't meet the classification. |
| Have you been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents? | Abuse, neglect, or abandonment by a parent is the central factual basis for SIJS relief, making this the highest-signal question in the intake. |
| Are you currently in the care of a responsible adult or agency (for example, a guardian, foster care, or a relative) or can you ask a state court for that kind of order? | A required state juvenile court order depends on custody or agency care already existing or being obtainable, so this answer indicates how procedurally ready the case is. |
| Would it be unsafe for you to go back to live with the parent who hurt you or failed to care for you? | The best-interest and non-reunification findings needed for SIJS hinge on it being unsafe to return the applicant to the offending parent. |
| Do you have a birth certificate or other documents that can show who your parents are? | Proof of parentage supports the underlying petition, so a no answer flags a documentation gap your team may need to help resolve before filing. |

Built for special immigrant juvenile status workflows
| Cliont capability | Special Immigrant Juvenile Status application |
|---|---|
| Guided, private intake widget | Sensitive questions about abuse, neglect, or abandonment are presented in a structured written flow instead of forcing a first phone call, so applicants can answer accurately before your team is involved. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Age, marital status, abuse/neglect/abandonment, and guardianship answers are combined into a single score so files with multiple high-value SIJS signals surface above general family-immigration inquiries. |
| Document upload capture | The intake requests a birth certificate or other proof of parentage up front, so your team knows immediately whether a document gap needs to be addressed before the consultation. |
| Automatic CRM routing | Leads that clear the under-21, unmarried, and abuse/neglect/abandonment questions are routed to your CRM as prioritized SIJS matters rather than mixed in with unrelated immigration inquiries. |
Common special immigrant juvenile status lead scenarios
Abused minor already in foster care
Applicant is under 21, unmarried, in the U.S., abandoned by a parent, and already in agency care with an unsafe home to return to — every high-value signal fires, so the intake scores this as high priority.
Older applicant nearing the age cutoff
The applicant answers no on the under-21 question, which carries a low weight and flags the file so your firm can move fast before the client ages out of SIJS eligibility.
Abandoned teen with no documents yet
Abuse or abandonment is confirmed, but the applicant has no birth certificate on hand — the lead still qualifies, and the intake notes the missing document for follow-up before the consultation.
Applicant currently outside the U.S.
The intake records a no on physical presence, a signal that keeps this lead out of your SIJS pipeline since the classification requires the applicant to be in the country.
Married applicant seeking SIJS relief
A no on the unmarried question is captured separately from the abuse-related answers, letting your team quickly identify why this inquiry doesn't fit SIJS criteria before booking time.

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle the age-21 cutoff that SIJS depends on?
The intake asks directly whether the applicant is currently under 21. A yes carries significant weight toward qualification, while a no is scored much lower and flagged so your team can advise quickly if age-out timing is close.
Does the intake ask about abuse or neglect in a sensitive way?
Yes — the catalog includes a direct yes/no question about whether the applicant was abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents, which is one of the strongest weighted signals in the scoring model.
What happens if a prospective client doesn't have a birth certificate?
The intake still asks whether they have a birth certificate or other document showing parentage. A no carries a lower weight than a yes but does not disqualify the lead outright, since documentation can often be obtained before filing.
Will the intake still capture a lead who's already 21 or close to it?
Yes, the response is recorded and scored, just with a lower weight than an under-21 answer, so your firm can still see the inquiry and decide how to handle a potential aging-out issue.
Does the intake ask about guardianship or state court involvement?
Yes — it asks whether the applicant is currently in the care of a guardian, foster care, relative, or agency, or could ask a state court for that kind of order, which is a key signal for whether the required custody/dependency finding is realistic.
How is this different from the intake for VAWA or U Visa leads?
SIJS intake is built around the applicant's age, marital status, and parental abuse or abandonment, rather than the spousal-abuse or crime-victim criteria used on the VAWA Self-Petitions and U Visa Crime Victims intake pages, so the qualifying questions and weights differ accordingly.
