TPS Haiti | Temporary Protected Status

Waa maxay TPS?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status for people already in the United States. TPS is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of danger, such as an armed conflict or environmental disaster.

Haddii aad leedahay TPS, waad awooddaa:

Ku sii joog Maraykanka si sharci ah muddo cayiman
Inaad codsato ruqsadda shaqada ee Maraykanka
Codso inaad u safarto meel ka baxsan Maraykanka
Inaad ka badbaado xadhiga iyo masaafurinta

Ma heli doontid wax dheefo ah oo TPS ah illaa codsigaaga la ansixiyo. TPS waa ku meel gaar. Kuma siinayso xaalad joogto ah oo sharci ah, dhalasho, ama xaalad socdaal oo joogto ah.

A court ruling on July 1, 2025 stopped the current administration from ending TPS Haiti on September 2, 2025. This decision can be further challenged.

Codsadeyaal cusub

Yaa codsan kara

Waa inaad buuxisaa shuruudaha soo socda si aad u codsato:

Be a national of Haiti or a person without nationality who lived in Haiti for a long time before arriving in the USA
Have lived only in the USA since June 3, 2024
Did not take trips outside the U.S. after August 4, 2024 that might impact eligibility

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaadan u qalmin haddii aad dambiyo gaar ah gashay.

Public charge does not apply to TPS applicants. You can use any government programs you qualify for.

Sida loo codsado

You can apply for TPS Haiti by filing Form I-821. You can file your application online or by mail with USCIS.

You must send documents showing proof of your identity, nationality, and date of entry. These are listed in the What to File section.

You must pay a fee if you are applying for TPS for the first time. You might be able to apply for a fee waiver if you can’t afford to pay the fee. Learn how to use the USCIS fee calculator.

It is important to apply as soon as possible. The last day to apply should be February 3, 2026, but that is also when TPS for Haiti is set to end.

What happens next

USCIS will review your application and send you a receipt notice. You can check the status of your application online by typing in your receipt number. If you do not get a receipt within 3 weeks of filing, you can call the USCIS Contact Center.

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad hesho warqad ku weydiineysa caddeyn dheeraad ah. Tani waxay noqon kartaa sawirkaaga, farahaaga, saxiixaaga, iyo dukumintiyo kale.

Waxaad heli doontaa warqad ogolaanaysa ama diidaysa codsigaaga. Haddii aad codsatay ogolaanshaha shaqo, waxaad sidoo kale heli doontaa macluumaad ku saabsan codsigaaga.

Haddii aadan helin TPS, waxaad heli doontaa macluumaad ku saabsan haddii iyo sida aad go'aankooda uga qaadan karto racfaan.

Current TPS holders

The TPS designation period remains 18 months due to a court order. Your benefits should remain valid through February 3, 2026.

If you already have TPS for Haiti under a previous designation, you must have re-registered by August 30, 2024 to continue your benefits through February 3, 2026.

Ruqsadda shaqo

Oggolaanshaha shaqo waxaa heli kara dadka leh TPS waxaana loo yaqaan Dukumeentiga Oggolaanshaha Shaqada (EAD). Waxay tusinaysaa shaqo-bixiyayaasha in laguu ogolaaday inaad ka shaqeyso Mareykanka.

You can apply for work authorization by filing Form I-765. It is recommended to apply at the same time you apply for TPS. Filing both forms together may help you get EAD faster. You can also apply after.

If you apply for a new EAD during the current registration period, your work permit will be valid through August 3, 2025. USCIS will not issue new work permits with this new date.

If you have TPS under a previous designation, USCIS has automatically extended the expiration date of EADs for TPS Haiti holders to August 3, 2025, for those whose EADs expired on the following dates:

Aug. 3, 2024
June 30, 2024
Feb. 3, 2023
Dec. 31, 2022
Oct. 4, 2021
Jan. 4, 2021
Jan. 2, 2020
July 22, 2019
Jan. 22, 2018
July 22, 2017

Ruqsadda safarka

Oggolaanshaha safarka waxaa heli kara dadka leh Xaaladda Ku Meel Gaarka ah ee La Ilaaliyo (TPS). Waxaa loo yaqaanaa 'advanced parole'. Waxay tusinaysaa saraakiisha socdaalka in laguu oggolaaday inaad u safarto dibadda oo aad ku soo laabato Maraykanka.

You can apply for a travel permit by filing Form I-131. Follow the Federal Register notice instructions when applying for a travel permit.

Before traveling outside the USA, talk to a lawyer. Immigration rules may change and it is important to know if it is safe to travel.

Maxaa dhacaya marka Xaaladda Ilaalinta Ku Meel Gaarka ah (TPS) dhamaato?

Haddii aadan haysan xaalad kale oo sharci ah oo ka baxsan TPS, waxaad noqon doontaa mid aan sharciyeysneyn oo waxaad waayi doontaa oggolaanshahaaga shaqada. Haddii aad joogtid adigoo aan wax xaal sharci ah haysan, waxaad halis ugu jirtaa in lagu xiro ama lagu masaafuriyo.
