"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today posted a Federal Register notice on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. The notice provides information about how to register or re-register for TPS under Haiti’s extension and redesignation for an additional 18 months, from February 4, 2023, through August 3, 2024," the statement said.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the 18-month extension and redesignation of Haiti for TPS in December, the statement said.
All Haitian citizens in the United States who want to request TPS can file an application starting January 26, the statement said.
The extension of TPS for Haiti allows approximately 107,000 current beneficiaries to retain TPS if they continue to meet TPS eligibility requirements, the statement added.
An estimated 105,000 additional individuals in the United States may be eligible for TPS under the redesignation of Haiti, according to the statement.
