The Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is granted to juveniles in the state system or who need protection from juvenile court because they have been abandoned, neglected, or abused by a parent. The SIJS allows them to be put on the path to become a lawful permanent resident (LPR) and receive a green card.
