Extension of El Salvador for Temporary Protected Status
As required by the statute, at least 60 days before the expiration of a current Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation or extension, the secretary of homeland security, after consultation with appropriate government agencies, must review the conditions in the foreign state to determine whether conditions for the TPS designation continue to be met.
Following this required review, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the extension of TPS for El Salvador for 18 months, from March 10, 2025 through Sept. 9, 2026. DHS also posted a Federal Register notice for public inspection.
The extension of TPS for El Salvador allows current TPS beneficiaries to re-register to keep their TPS through Sept. 9, 2026, if they otherwise continue to meet the eligibility requirements for TPS. Existing TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status through Sept. 9, 2026, must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period from Jan. 17, 2025 through March 18, 2025.
The Federal Register notice explains the procedures necessary for an individual to re-register under the extension and to apply for an employment authorization document.
