By immigrationprof

USCIS reminds eligible nationals of Haiti to file for Temporary Protected Status (TPS).  The final day for TPS-Haiti beneficiaries to re-register is Aug. 22, 2011.

TPS was originally designated for Haiti in January 2010 in response to a catastrophic earthquake that devastated that country. The current 18-month extension of TPS for Haiti will remain in effect through Jan. 22, 2013. The following three groups are covered under the Haiti TPS extension and re-designation:

Individuals filing for the first time

Individuals with pending TPS application

Individuals re-registering for TPS (Individuals who were initially granted TPS for Haiti through July 22, 2011 and who plan to remain in the United States., must re-register no later than Aug. 22, 2011) Check uscis.gov for requirements and procedures.
