United States: DHS Publishes FR Notice Extending TPS Re-registration Periods for El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan
December 14, 2023
Consistent with its September announcement, the Department of Homeland Security has published a Federal Register (FR) notice, reiterating the extensions of the periods to re-register for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under the existing designations of El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan. As a reminder, the September announcement does not change the previously announced extensions of the TPS designations for these six countries, and it does not change the eligibility requirements. It extends the period when existing TPS beneficiaries may re-register for their benefits.
The 18-month re-registration period for current TPS beneficiaries under the designation of:
- El Salvador now runs through March 9, 2025;
- Haiti now runs through August 3, 2024;
- Honduras now runs through July 5, 2025;
- Nepal now runs through June 24, 2025;
- Nicaragua now runs through July 5, 2025; and
- Sudan now runs through April 19, 2025.
Extending re-registration allows current TPS beneficiaries to submit Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, at any time during the above timeframes for these six countries.
