The Department of Homeland Security has extended the designation of
Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 additional months.
This extension is granted for the periods from July 23, 2014 through
January 22, 2016. This extension will allow current TPS beneficiaries to
keep their status through January 22, 2016 as long as they otherwise
continue to meet the requirements for TOPS status.
This extension was granted because the conditions in Haiti that
originally prompted the designation of TPS continue to be met.
Substantial (yet temporary) conditions in Haiti continue to prevent
nationals of that country from safely returning home.
