Designation of Haiti for Temporary 

Protected Status 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security announces that the Secretary of 

Homeland Security (Secretary) has 

designated Haiti for temporary protected 

status (TPS) for a period of 18 months. 

Under section 244(b)(1) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, the 

Secretary is authorized to designate a 

foreign state for TPS or parts of such 

state upon finding that such state is 

experiencing ongoing armed conflict, an 

environmental disaster, or 

‘‘extraordinary and temporary 

conditions.’’ The Secretary may grant 

TPS to individual nationals of the 

designated foreign state (or to eligible 

aliens having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in such state) who 

have been both continuously physically 

present in the United States since the 

effective date of the designation and 

continually residing in the United States 

since a date determined by the 

Secretary, and who meet other 

eligibility criteria. TPS is available only 

to persons who were continuously 

physically present in the United States 

as of the effective date of the 

designation. 

Under this designation, Haitian 

nationals (and aliens having no 

nationality who last habitually resided 

in Haiti) who have continuously resided 

in the United States since January 12, 

2010, and who remain in continual 

physical presence in the United States 

from the effective date of the notice, 

may apply for TPS within the 180-day 

registration period that begins on the 

date of publication of the notice. These 

nationals also may apply for 

employment authorization documents 

and for permission to depart from and 

return to the United States. 

This notice also sets forth procedures 

necessary for nationals of Haiti (or 

aliens having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in Haiti) to register 

and to apply for TPS and employment 

authorization documents with U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services. 

DATES: This designation of Haiti for TPS 

is effective on January 21, 2010, and 

will remain in effect through July 22, 

2011. The 180-day registration period 

for eligible individuals to submit their 

TPS applications begins January 21, 

2010, and will remain in effect until 

July 20, 2010.

What Is Temporary Protected Status? 

TPS is a temporary immigration status 

granted to eligible nationals of a country 

(or to persons without nationality who 

last habitually resided in the designated 

country) that the Secretary has 

designated for TPS because the country 

is experiencing an ongoing armed 

conflict, an environmental disaster, or 

extraordinary and temporary conditions. 

During the period for which the 

Secretary has designated a country for 

TPS, TPS beneficiaries are eligible to 

remain in the United States and may
