TPS Registration for Haiti Nationals in The US Begins
January 21st, 2010
| 
Author: Citizens and Nationals of Haiti living in the United States can apply for TPS starting today, January 21, 2010. Temporary Protected Status (TPS), once granted, will allow those eligible to obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Those in removal or deportation proceedings can halt such proceedings by having their cases administratively closed.
Haitians in the United States must show that they were living in the United States on January 12, 2010 and must not have been convicted of a felony or two misdemeanors.
Some key things to note:
- You are eligible for TPS even if you had applied for asylum and the asylum application was denied
- You are eligible for TPS even if another Immigration application you had filed was denied
- You can still file for any other Immigration benefit while on TPS
- You might be eligible for Advance Parole (permission to leave the United States and to re-enter after a short stay abroad)
- Temporary Protected Status is a short-term relief and for Haiti this program will run for 18 months.
- Your application must received during the registration period (for Haiti within 6 months).
