This week, USCIS announced that they will extend the registration period for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for all eligible Haitian nationals. The initial period for TPS registration for Haitian nationals was from January 21, 2010 through July 20, 2010. This period has now been extended through January 18, 2011.
The Department of Homeland Security had previously published a notice in January 2010 that announced TPS designation for Haiti for an 18 month period. This TPS designation only applies to Haitian nationals who have continually resided in the U.S. since January 12, 2010 and not to those who first entered the U.S. after that date.
