TPS Renewal Period Begins for Persons from El Salvador and Haiti

Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that they would be accepting applications from El Salvador and Haiti from now until March 19, 2018. As you probably know, this will be the final period of renewal of Temporary Protected Status for the two countries.

For people from El Salvador, TPS will expire on September 9, 2019. People who timely re-register and apply for work authorization will have their current employment cards be automatically valid through September 5, 2018.

For people from Haiti, the TPS will expire on July 22, 2019. People who timely re-register and apply for work authorization will have their current employment cards be automatically valid through July 21, 2018.
