TPS to Ukraine
Secretary Mayorkas of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced that Temporary Protected Status has been issued for Ukrainian nationals due to the Russian invasion and ongoing war in the country.
TPS grants foreign nationals the right to live and work in the United States without fear of deportation to a country ravaged by violence, environmental disaster, or any other extraordinary circumstance that prevents its citizens from safely returning to their home country. This TPS designation for Ukraine will be valid for 18 months (valid until September 1st, 2023).
To be eligible for TPS, Ukrainian nationals must have continuously lived in the United States as of March 1st, 2022. Those who arrived after this date will not qualify for TPS. Furthermore, all individuals who are eligible for TPS must submit their TPS application to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 180 days (until August 28th, 2022). In addition to this application, TPS recipients will also need to apply for employment authorization in order to legally work while in the United States.
TPS Redesignated and Extended to South Sudan
In addition to granting TPS designation to Ukraine, the Department of Homeland Security has once again redesignated TPS status to South Sudan, a country struggling with ongoing violence and famine. TPS for South Sudan has been extended until November 3, 2023. South Sudan beneficiaries who are in the United States will need to re-register for TPS by March 3rd, 2022.
Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) set to expire will be automatically extended until November 2023. Any South Sudanese individuals with TPS status who has not filed for an EAD are recommended to file as soon as possible.
