EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE STATUS FOR VENEZUELANS

 

On July 11, 2022, Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, announced the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, for an additional 18 months. The extension will be in effect from September 10, 2022, through March 10, 2024.  Details for reregistering will be announced in the near future.

If you are a Venezuelan national who has not yet filed your initial TPS application, you must register for TPS with USCIS  before September 9, 2022 in order to receive the protections of TPS.  In order to be eligible, you must be a Venezuelan who has been residing in the U.S. since March 8, 2021. It’s not too late!  Register now!

TPS Extended Until October 2021!!

TPS EXTENDED UNTIL OCTOBER 2021!!

On December 7, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security announced the extension of Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for beneficiaries from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Sudan, Honduras, and Nepal. Originally set to end in January 2021, TPS will now be extended to October 4, 2021 allowing TPS holders to continue legally living and working in the U.S. without fear of being deported.

TPS was put in place to help those whose home countries are experiencing a temporary extraordinary event, such as natural disaster or armed civil wars. With Hurricanes Eta and Iota recently devastating Central American countries, including Honduras and El Salvador, the extension put in place is a great relief to TPS beneficiaries.

It is hoped the Biden administration will help pass a law to enable TPS beneficiaries to become legal permanent residents, and eventually, US citizens. We will continue to provide updates and information relating to any important changes to our immigration law.
