The Department of Homeland Security announced the extension and redesignation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months, from Aug. 4, 2024, to Feb. 3, 2026.
Key Points:
Additional Information: After consultation with interagency partners, DHS determined an 18-month extension and redesignation of Haiti for TPS was warranted because of ongoing urgent humanitarian needs and that doing so was not contrary to U.S. national interests. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will continue to process pending applications filed under previous TPS designations for Haiti. Individuals with a pending Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-765 as of July 1, 2024, do not need to refile.
This extension and redesignation does not apply to anyone who was not already in the United States on June 3, 2024, and consequences continue to be enforced on those attempting to cross unlawfully or without authorization into the United States.
