This week, DHS announced that it was extending Temporary Protected
Status (TPS) for Hondurans and Nicaraguans in the United States. DHS first announced the availability of TPS
for citizens of these countries in January 1999.
If you currently have TPS and have maintained your status,
you must reregister during the reregistration period. This period will be between October 14, 2014
and December 15, 2014. Your status will be extended until July 5,
2016. The employment authorization
document that you have will be automatically extended until January 5, 2015
while you are waiting for your new employment authorization document.
If you do not currently have TPS or if you did not
reregister, you may register if you meet certain conditions. For example, if
you could not register because of compelling circumstances, you may be eligible
to do so now. You should consult an
immigration attorney to determine whether you meet the conditions for late
initial registration or late reregistration.
