In the United States they classify as Special Immigrant Youth (SIJ) for the “people who have been subject to judicial proceedings in the state juvenile court.”
This is explained by La Nación, a medium that explains that it is the job of the USCIS – United States Citizenship and Immigration Service – to determine whether they meet the classification requirements.
The USCIS states: “If you are in the United States and require the protection of a juvenile court because you have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by a parent, you may qualify for the Special Classification for Immigrant Youth (SIKH) ”.
If you receive the SIJ classification, you may be eligible for legal permanent residence (Green Card).

Which special immigrants are not eligible for a green card?
La Nación points out that, according to the aforementioned US agency, “There are vetoes in this adjustment of status” and explains:
“If you have committed a specific crime or violation of immigration law, you may be prohibited from adjusting your status.
If you are classified as an SIJ, you are exempt from some adjustment vetoes, except those related to terrorism. There is no exemption for this, so you are not eligible for a permanent resident card if this applies to you.”
To qualify for a green card, the person must be admitted to the United States; “However, in the case of special immigrant youth, the law may grant them a special exception to compensate for the inadmissibility.”
They quote USCIS: “If we grant you another form of relief, we may approve your green card application, as long as you continue to qualify.” This exemption depends on the specific grounds for inadmissibility that apply to the applicant and the category to which he or she wishes to belong.

Green card and SIJ classification
If an individual has been granted the SIJ classification (meaning Form I-360 has been approved), he or she may be eligible to apply for permanent residency (green card) by filing Form I-485, application to register permanent residence permit or adjust Status.
This is also called applying for legal permanent resident status or adjustment of status.
If you have an immediate immigrant visa, you can usually file your Form I-360 and Form I-485 at the same time.
SIJ immigrant visas are from the special fourth immigrant preference category (EB-4) of employment-based immigrant visas.

Between documentation they will request -breaks down La Nación- It is also related to the Form I-797 and the I-360. In addition to:
About relatives
As for derived relatives, ““No one can submit a request under this classification.”
However, if the applicant obtains the green card, La Nación says, “he can extend this benefit through family immigration.
“It should be noted that if you are granted permanent residency based on your SIJ classification, it may not provide immigration benefits to one or both of your former natural or adoptive parents, even if you naturalize.”
Once the U-485 form is processed, the individual can apply for a work permit using the I-765 form until their green card is issued.
