E-Mail from CISOMB: "Dear Stakeholder, Please join the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman for a teleconference on issues related to the Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) program. The Ombudsman issued recommendations to USCIS on SIJ-related issues in November 2015 and received USCIS’ response on April 22, 2016. Recently, the Department of State (DOS) announced there are no available visas for children from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico who qualify for SIJ status due to visas being oversubscribed for those countries. This teleconference will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to hear about the current situation affecting SIJ applicants and an opportunity to share concerns and experiences.
When: June 16, 2016

Please RSVP with “SIJ Teleconference” in the subject line by Wednesday, June 15, 2016 to CISOmbudsman.PublicAffairs@hq.dhs.gov. Teleconference call-in information will be provided upon RSVP."
