Temporary Protection Status Extension for Somalia

Janet Napolitano, US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, announced an 18-month extension on the current Temporary Protection Status (TPS) designation for Somalia.

The extension follows the DHS's review of Somalia's ongoing armed conflict coupled with a severe drought in 2011.

Eligible Somali citizens may register or re-register for TPS from May 1, 2012, to July 2, 2012.

First time applicants and repeat registrants must complete Form I-821 and I-765. Detailed registration information is available at the USICS Web site.

Have you or anyone you know applied or will need to submit a TPS application?
