Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC)

Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) are minors under 18 who arrive in the U.S. without a parent or guardian. They often seek safety from violence, poverty, or persecution in their home countries. Once in the U.S., UAC are provided with specialized care and legal protections to ensure their safety, access to services, and fair treatment in the immigration process. The goal is to prioritize their well-being while determining if they qualify for legal residency or other relief options.
