Haiti - Diaspora : Deadline for applications for Temporary Protected Status
The Miami-Dade County Office of Community Advocacy, encourages all eligible Haitian nationals, who wish to remain in the United States, to request an extension of their temporary Protected Status (TPS) before the deadline of November 30, 2012.
Re-registrants may also apply for a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD), when they apply for a TPS extension. Haitians nationals who do not re-register before the deadline will not be eligible to extend their TPS or to receive new EAD.
Recall that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended the TPS for Haiti for an additional period of 18 months. The extension begins January 23, 2013 and ends on 22 July 2014. Successful applicants will have continuously resided in the U.S. since January 12, 2011.
The TPS beneficiaries who re-register before November 30, and are currently holding a valid EAD, will also receive an additional six months of employment eligibility. If requested, re-registrants are eligible to receive an EAD with the expiration date July 22, 2014.
