Temporary Protected Status Extension and Redesignation for Haiti
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services invites you to participate in a stakeholder engagement of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti on Tuesday, Sept. 24 from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern.
On June 28, 2024, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced the extension and redesignation of Haiti for TPS for 18 months. The extension of TPS for Haiti allows current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS through Feb. 3, 2026, if they meet the eligibility requirements for TPS. Existing TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status through Feb. 3, 2026, must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period from July 1, 2024, through Aug. 30, 2024. The redesignation of Haiti for TPS allows additional Haitian nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti) to file initial applications for TPS if they were continuously residing in the United States on or before June 3, 2024, and are continuously physically present in the United States by Aug. 4, 2024. Eligible individuals who are filing an initial application for TPS under Haiti’s redesignation that is effective Aug. 4, 2024, must register during the registration period that runs from July 1, 2024, through Feb. 3, 2026.
During this engagement, USCIS will provide an overview of the extension and redesignation of Haiti for TPS. We will then hold a question-and-answer session. We will not address case-specific questions, questions outside the scope of the engagement, or issues under active litigation.
