The Department of Homeland Security has announced the extension and redesignation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The Biden administration announced the TPS extension/redesignation as part of a broader effort to increase border enforcement and accelerate the processing of work authorization requests. Among other initiatives, DHS said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would “increase the maximum validity period of initial and renewal EADs to 5 years for certain noncitizens, including those admitted as refugees or granted asylum; recipients of withholding of removal; and applicants for asylum, adjustment of status, or cancellation of removal.” DHS said this change would reduce USCIS’ workload and help improve processing times but did not provide details about when it would take effect or precisely who would be eligible. BAL will monitor the implementation of this announcement and provide information as it becomes available.
