Immigrants from Haiti: Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

Here may be some hope for persons from Haiti living in the USA. US Immigration (USCIS) may grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States.

The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.

However at this time Haiti is not on this list, but there is political discussion about adding Haiti as a country.

If you know politicians please contact them in the interest of humanity to convince USCIS to add Haiti. If you are from Haiti in the USA and are interested in help, please contact our law firm and we will attempt to help you free of charge as a pro bono client.

God bless!
