TPS Extended and Redesignated for South Sudan

Archived Content

The information on this page is out of date. However, some of the content may still be useful, so we have archived the page.

The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended and redesignated the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for South Sudan for 18 months from Nov. 3, 2014 through May 2, 2016. The extension allows current TPS beneficiaries of South Sudan to re-register for TPS. DHS has also automatically extended the validity of Employment Authorization Documents issued under the TPS designation of South Sudan for six months, through May 2, 2015.

The redesignation allows individuals who currently do not have TPS to submit an initial application, in accordance with the Federal Register notice.

Further details on the extension and redesignation of South Sudan for TPS may be found in the Federal Register notice. Additional information on TPS for South Sudan is available at www.uscis.gov/tps. Employers verifying or reverifying the employment eligibility of employees who are TPS beneficiaries from South Sudan should refer to the Temporary Protected Status page on I-9 Central.
