Temporary Protected Status Extension and Redesignation for Syria
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services invites you to participate in a stakeholder engagement on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syria on Tuesday, March 12, from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern.
On Jan. 26, 2024, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced the extension and redesignation of Syria for TPS for 18 months. The extension of TPS for Syria allows current beneficiaries to retain TPS through Sept. 30, 2025, if they meet eligibility requirements. Existing beneficiaries of TPS for Syria seeking to avoid gaps in their employment authorization may re-register during the 60-day re-registration period which runs from Jan. 29, 2024, through March 29, 2024. The redesignation allows Syrian nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Syria) who have continuously resided in the United States since Jan. 25, 2024, and have been continuously physically present in the United States since April 1, 2024, to file initial applications for TPS, if they are otherwise eligible.
During this engagement, USCIS will provide an overview of the extension and redesignation of Syria for TPS. We will then hold a question-and-answer session. We will not address case-specific questions, questions outside the scope of the engagement, or issues under active litigation.
