BREAKING IMMIGRATION NEWS: U.S. extends protected migrant status to mid-2024 for 6 nationalities

Cris Haest • Nov 11, 2022

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be extended to June 30, 2024, for citizens of Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Sudan, Honduras, and Nepal

"The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be extended to June 30, 2024, for citizens of Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Sudan, Honduras, and Nepal, according to a document filed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.


The action means their status will no longer expire at the end of the year.


The TPS program provides recipients work permits and can protect them from deportation if their home countries go through extraordinary events such as natural disaster or armed conflict.


The extension will affect about 392,000 people, of whom some 242,000 are citizens of El Salvador, according to USCIS data.


"Thanks be to God," said Salvadoran Ambassador to the United States Milena Mayorga, tweeting a link to the document.

The extension gives Hondurans in the program "peace of mind for another 18 months," Honduran Foreign Minister Eduardo Reina said at a news conference."
