Guardianships for immigrant youth (under 21 years old)
Guardianships usually end when you turn 18. However, if you are an 18 to 20-year-old immigrant youth, you can ask the court for a guardianship of the person as part of your request for a Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) order in state court. The SIJ order is a required part of the application for SIJ classification.
