The Department of Homeland Security has partially vacated the 2024 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Haiti.
If it is not re-designated by June 4th, then it will end on August 3, 2025, rather than the original date of February 3, 2026, which means that Haitians currently living and working in the United States on TPS will lose their status.
What is TPS?
TPS is designated for a country when conditions are so terrible that it would be inhumane to make citizens return to that country.
Why was TPS designated for Haiti?
Since 2021, the United Nations has detailed the crisis in Haiti, including gang violence, mass displacement of people, rape, kidnappings and murder.
If you are a Haitian currently present in TPS status in the U.S. and would like to discuss your situation with a U.S. immigration attorney, please reach out to us at 970-680-1223 or via our website at www.aspirevisaattorneys.com.
