The U.S. State Department announced the suspension of routine visa services at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince on April 15.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Haitian nationals in the U.S. are reminded that the extended Temporary Protected Status re-registration period for existing beneficiaries runs through Aug. 3, 2024. The extension allows for the submission of Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, any time before Aug. 3.
BAL Analysis: The visa suspensions were implemented because of escalating gang violence in Port-au-Prince after a series of coordinated attacks initiated on Feb. 29 resulted in civil unrest and a government breakdown. The airport remains closed. BAL will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as information becomes available.
This alert has been provided by the BAL U.S. Practice Group.
