The Department of Homeland Security will extend and redesignate Somalia for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months, from Sept. 18, 2024, through March 17, 2026.
Key Points:
Additional Information: DHS determined an 18-month extension and redesignation of Somalia for TPS was warranted because of ongoing armed conflict, widespread insecurity and violence, intense flooding, food insecurity, disease outbreaks and significant barriers to humanitarian aid. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will continue to process pending applications filed under previous TPS designations for Somalia. Individuals with a pending Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, or Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, as of July 19, 2024, do not need to refile.
