USCIS – Temporary Protected Status Extended for Salvadorans.
Very Very Important, TPS Designation has been extended for Salvadorans. All Salvadorans with TPS MUST reregister no later than MARCH 12, 2012. This means that applications MUST be post marked on that date. If you do not reregister by this date you risk losing your TPS status and your right to live and work legally in the United States.
Applicants must file a form I-821 ($50 fee for a first time applicant and $85 for everyone else) and a form I-765 ($380). This will extend your right to work through for an 18-month period from March 10, 2012 to September 9, 2013. By the notice in the federal register all current TPS work authorizations for Salvadoran Nationals that expire on March 9, 2012 are automatically extended for 6 months to account for processing times to September 9, 2012.
If your employers are giving you trouble about this show them the USCIS Notice and the federal register.
Please pass this on to all Salvadoran Nationals who have TPS.
