Starting on November 1, 2016, the USCIS will centralize the Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) program. The USCIS will process Form I-360 petitions and Form I-485 immigrant visa applications for the SIJ program at one location, the National Benefits Center (NBC). However, the USCIS will retain discretion to require in-person interviews at local field offices.
SIJ-based petitions and applications filed before November 1 will be adjudicated by the field office that has jurisdiction.
