USCIS Engagement: Deferred Enforced Departure for Hong Kong
June 23, 2023
On Jan. 26, 2023, President Biden issued a Memorandum on Extending and Expanding Eligibility for Deferred Enforced Departure for Certain Hong Kong Residents to the secretaries of state and homeland security. This memorandum defers through Feb. 5, 2025, the removal of any Hong Kong national, or person without nationality who last habitually resided in Hong Kong, who was present in the United States on Jan. 26, 2023, and who has continuously resided here since then, unless the individual falls within one of the exceptions. In addition, the memorandum also directs USCIS to take measures to authorize employment eligibility for eligible residents of Hong Kong.
