The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to rescind its prior terminations of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua and extend TPS designations for all four countries for 18 months.

DHS will publish Federal Register notices for the El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua TPS rescissions and extensions and provide additional information on the re-registration process soon.

El Salvador
The extension of TPS for El Salvador from Sept. 10, 2023, through March 9, 2025, allows approximately 239,000 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension, if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements. Only beneficiaries under El Salvador’s existing designation or Salvadoran nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in El Salvador) who have continuously resided in the United States since Feb. 13, 2001, and have been continuously physically present since March 9, 2001, are eligible under this extension.

Honduras
The extension of TPS for Honduras from Jan. 6, 2024, through July 5, 2025, allows approximately 76,000 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension, if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements. Only beneficiaries under Honduras’ existing designation or Honduran nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Honduras) who have continuously resided in the United States since Dec. 30, 1998, and have been continuously physically present since Jan. 5, 1999, are eligible under this extension.

Nepal
The extension of TPS for Nepal from Dec. 25, 2023, through June 24, 2025, allows approximately 14,500 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension, if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements. Only beneficiaries under Nepal’s existing designation or Nepali nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Nepal) who have continuously resided in the United States since June 24, 2015, and have been continuously physically present since June 24, 2015, are eligible under this extension.

Nicaragua
The extension of TPS for Nicaragua from Jan. 6, 2024, through July 5, 2025, allows approximately 4,000 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension, if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements. Only beneficiaries under Nicaragua’s existing designation or Nicaraguan nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Nicaragua) who have continuously resided in the United States since Dec. 30, 1998, and have been continuously physically present since Jan. 5, 1999, are eligible under this extension.

More Information
Existing El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status must re-register during the 60-day re-registration periods that will be detailed in notices that will be issued in the near future.

The rules will also automatically extend the validity of Employment Authorization Documents, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, and Forms I-797, Notice of Action (Approval Notice).
