"In this appeal, we examine the role of our state courts in making the predicate findings necessary for a non-citizen child to apply for “special immigrant juvenile” (SIJ) status under the Immigration Act of 1990, as amended by the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA), Pub. L. No. 110-457, 122 Stat. 5044. ... [W]e reverse the Appellate Division’s decision in H.S.P. and the Family Part’s decision in K.G. Both failed to address all of the requirements identified in 8 C.F.R. 204.11.

We remand both cases for further findings consistent with this opinion." - H.S.P. v. J.K., Aug. 26, 2016.
