New Immigration Protections Offered to Citizens of Cameroon, Afghanistan, Ukraine, South Sudan, and Sudan Residing in the U.S.
By Luke Niermann – Associate Attorney
In the last 6 weeks, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the designation of five new countries for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Under this program, individuals who are citizens of a country designated for TPS and who have been residing in the United States as of a certain date may apply for permission to remain in the United States. If approved, individuals would be allowed to stay in the U.S. for an 18-month period.
To be eligible for TPS, individuals must have already been residing in the United States as of the following dates:
- Cameroon: April 14, 2022
- Afghanistan: March 15, 2022
- Ukraine: March 1, 2022
- South Sudan: March 1, 2022
- Sudan: March 1, 2022
Apart from the residency requirement, applicants must meet additional eligibility requirements and undergo security and background checks.
If you or someone you know has questions about TPS or needs assistance in applying, please contact our office and make an appointment to speak with one of our immigration attorneys.
