Temporary Protected Status – Haiti

TPS still remains in effect, now until August 3, 2025. This designation is scheduled to be reviewed at least 60 days before expiration, by June 4, 2025.

TPS-related work authorization remains valid through August 3, 2025. USCIS has also automatically extended work authorization through August 3, 2025 for work permits showing certain original expiration dates which have passed. 

For all current TPS holders who had received approved TPS-related documentation until February 2026, that documentation will remain valid until August 3, 2025, and TPS holders do not need to refile applications with USCIS for new documentation. USCIS will not recall TPS-related documentation previously issued with February 3, 2026, expiration dates and those documents instead remain valid through August 3, 2025. Additionally, USCIS will not issue new TPS-related documentation with the August 3, 2025, expiration date to TPS holders who have previously received documentation with the February 3, 2026, expiration date.

For all current TPS holders who have not yet received a decision on their timely-filed TPS-related applications, if approved, USCIS will approve with an expiration date of August 3, 2025.

si su empleador le pregunta, le puede mostrarle el February 24, 2025, Federal Register Notice, stating TPS-related work authorization (pursuant to the 2024 designation) is valid through August 3, 2025; your current work permit or the receipt notice you received when you timely applied for a new work permit (Form I-797, Notice of Action).

Yes, on March 3, 2025, three membership organizations representing Haitian and Venezuelan TPS holders—Haitian Americans United, Inc., Venezuelan Association of Massachusetts, and UndocuBlack Network, Inc.— and four individual TPS recipients filed a lawsuit against the current administration in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, challenging the termination of TPS for Haitians and certain Venezuelans. There have been no further developments, but please stay tuned for updates.

The plaintiffs are represented by Lawyers for Civil Rights. The case is Haitian-Americans United Inc. et al v. Trump, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, No. 1:25-cv-10498.

Tal como está actualmente, las personas que tienen TPS válido aún pueden solicitar y viajar con Advance Parole, que es el permiso para salir de los EE. UU. y regresar. Sin embargo, los beneficiarios del TPS deben consultar con un proveedor de servicios legales confiable para analizar los posibles riesgos adicionales de viaje en el contexto actual.
