TPS Haiti Extended and Redesignated for 18 Months; EADs Automatically Extended Through Feb. 3, 2024

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas extended and redesignated Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) through Aug. 3, 2024.  Haitian nationals and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti may submit an initial registration application under the redesignation of Haiti for TPS and apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD).

Given the time frames for processing TPS re-registration applications, USCIS has automatically extended the validity of certain EADs issued under the TPS designation for Haiti through Feb. 3, 2024.
