DHS to Continue Temporary Protected Status for Nepal Through Dec. 31, 2022
प्रकाशित मिति : भाद्र २४, २०७८ बिहीबार
The Department of Homeland Security today published a Federal Register notice (FRN) announcing that it is automatically extending the validity of TPS-related documentation for beneficiaries under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan through Dec. 31, 2022.
DHS is ensuring its continued compliance with the preliminary injunction orders of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Ramos et al. v. Nielsen et al., No. 18-cv-01554 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 3, 2018), and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Saget et al. v. Trump et al., No. 18-cv-1599 (E.D.N.Y. April 11, 2019), and with the order of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to stay proceedings in Bhattarai v. Nielsen, No. 19-cv-00731 (N.D. Cal. March 12, 2019).
Beneficiaries under the TPS designations for El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan will retain their TPS while the preliminary injunction in Ramos and the Bhattarai order remain in effect, provided that their TPS is not withdrawn because of individual ineligibility.
Beneficiaries under the TPS designation for Haiti will retain their TPS while either of the preliminary injunctions in Ramos or Saget remains in effect, provided that their TPS is not withdrawn because of individual ineligibility. Beneficiaries of TPS for Haiti whose status is continued by this FRN are strongly encouraged to apply for TPS under the new designation of Haiti to ensure their TPS continues should the courts end their injunctions.
Beneficiaries may show their automatically extended Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) to employers to demonstrate they have employment authorization and may also show this FRN, which explains that DHS has automatically extended their TPS-related documentation through Dec. 31, 2022. Beneficiaries who would like an EAD with the extended validity date of Dec. 31, 2022, displayed on the EAD, must file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with the appropriate filing fee (or obtain a fee waiver). Applicants may request a fee waiver by completing Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, and submitting it with Form I-765.
The FRN also addresses automatic extension of Forms I-94 and I-797 and possible future actions.
