Registration period extended to 18 months for TPS applicants from Venezuela, Syria, and Burma.
August 10, 2021
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a Federal Register notice announcing extensions of the registration periods from 180 days to 18 months for initial applicants for TPS under the designations of Venezuela and Burma, and the redesignation of Syria. This notice provides as well, certain specific corrections to the notice regarding Venezuela. DHS has come to the conclusion that limiting the registration period to 180 days may place a burden on initial TPS applicants who are unable to timely file but would otherwise be eligible for a grant of TPS. The registration periods will be running as follows: Venezuela runs through Sept. 9, 2022, Syria runs through Sept. 30, 2022, and Burma runs through Nov. 25, 2022.
