1 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a),
2 if a petition for special immigrant juvenile status and an
3 application for adjustment of status have been filed on behalf
4 of a foster child and the petition and application have not
5 been granted by the time the child reaches 18 years of age,
6 the court may retain jurisdiction over the dependency case
7 solely for the purpose of allowing the continued consideration
8 of the petition and application by federal authorities. Review
9 hearings for the child shall be set solely for the purpose of
10 determining the status of the petition and application. The
11 court's jurisdiction terminates upon the final decision of the
12 federal authorities. Retention of jurisdiction in this
13 instance does not affect the services available to a young
14 adult under s. 409.1451. The court may not retain jurisdiction
15 of the case after the immigrant child's 22nd birthday.
16 (12) The court shall encourage the Statewide Guardian
17 Ad Litem Office to provide greater representation to those
18 children who are within 1 year of transferring out of foster
19 care.
