Original Date Announced
February 24, 2025Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Kristi Noem partially vacated the June 4, 2024, decision of former DHS Secretary Mayorkas to extend the TPS designation for Haiti to the statutory maximum of 18 months (until February 3, 2026) and to redesignate TPS for Haiti for 18 months. The extension and redesignation were published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2024. The partial vacatur reduces the designation period from 18 months to 12 months and changes the registration deadline for new applicants under the new designation.
As a result of this action, the Haiti TPS extension and new designation will expire on August 3, 2025, instead of February 3, 2026, and the first-time registration period will remain open until August 3, 2025, instead of February 3, 2026.
