The Department of Homeland Security has announced the extension and redesignation of Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months, from Oct. 20, 2023, through April 19, 2025.
Key Points:
Background: Ukraine was initially designated for TPS in April 2022, following the Russian invasion. In a statement Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, “Russia’s ongoing military invasion of Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian crisis requires that the United States continue to offer safety and protection to Ukrainians who may not be able to return to their country. We will continue to offer our support to Ukrainian nationals through this temporary form of humanitarian relief.” DHS estimated the TPS extension would cover about 26,000 current beneficiaries, while the redesignation would make roughly an additional 166,700 individuals eligible for TPS.
