USA: respect deadlines
The US Citizenship and Immigration Service requests citizens not to make the process to re-register for TPS until the period assigned to the respective country begins, since “the application cannot be awarded before the indicated date,” it warns.
In addition, it specifies that it will soon publish notification in the Federal Register about this extension of the re-registration periods.
They were granted the TPS extension until 2024.
The re-registration was reported on June 21 when the Department of Homeland Security published notifications from the Federal Register, in which it was announced the cessation of cancellations of the designations of El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua, to opt for the Temporary Protected Status, from the years 2017 and 2018, and which would be effective on June 9, 2023.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary immigration status for eligible foreigners from designated countries, whose procedure established by the US Congress allows the Attorney General to provide this benefit to foreign citizens in the US, who are temporarily unable to return to their countries, due to armed conflicts, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions, such as situations of political persecution and humanitarian emergencies, such as the case of Venezuela.
