DHS Extends TPS Re-Registration for 6 Countries
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made an important announcement that affects
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries in six designated countries: El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan. This update extends the TPS re-registration periods from the previous 60 days to a more generous 18 months, providing beneficiaries with additional time to secure their TPS benefits.
New Deadlines for TPS Re-Registration

- El Salvador: Extended until March 9, 2025.

- Nepal: Extended until June 24, 2025.
- Nicaragua: Extended until July 5, 2025.

This extension enables TPS beneficiaries to submit their necessary forms, such as
Form I-821 (Application for Temporary Protected Status) and Form
I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), at any time within the 18-month window for these designated countries.
Special Re-Registration Details
