On Monday, September 23, 2019, USCIS announced a re-registration period for individuals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under Syria’s designation, can extended their designation until March 31, 2019. Current TPS Syrian beneficiaries who would like to extend their TPS must re-register between September 23, 2019 and November 22, 2019.
For further details please review the USCIS News Release, “Re-Registration Period Now Open for Individuals with TPS under Syria’s Designation”.
Background:
The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country’s nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.
