The government announced an extension to the registration period for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eligible nationals of Haiti. Initially, the 180-day registration period for Haitians was from Jan. 21 through July 20, 2010. This registration period is now being extended through Jan. 18, 2011.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially announced the TPS designation of Haiti for 18 months, from Jan. 21, 2010 through July 22, 2011. Only Haitians who have continuously resided in the United States since Jan. 12, 2010, the day of the earthquake are eligible. TPS will not be granted to Haitians who first entered the United States after that date.
TPS applicants must submit both the Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, to register. Applicants must pay the Form I-821 fee. Applicants age 14 and older must also submit the biometric service fee. Applicants who are age 14 through 65 who request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) must pay the Form I-765 fee. Applicants under age 14 or over age 65 who request an EAD do not need to pay the Form I-765 fee.
