The Department of Homeland Security announced the extension and redesignation of Ethiopia for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months, from June 13, 2024, to Dec. 12, 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Existing TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status through Dec. 12, 2025, must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period. In addition to demonstrating continuous residence in the United States since April 11, 2024, and meeting other eligibility criteria, initial applicants for TPS under this designation must demonstrate that they have been continuously physically present in the United States since June 13, 2024, the redesignation effective date.
BAL Analysis: Ethiopia was initially designated for TPS on Dec. 12, 2022, on the basis of extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevented nationals from returning safely. The extension and redesignation will allow additional eligible Ethiopian nationals to apply or reapply for TPS and TPS-related work authorization.
