Nicaraguans outside the U.S. may now be eligible for a humanitarian parole program to live and work temporarily in the USA.
TPS ምንድን ነው?
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status for people already in the USA. TPS is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of danger. These may include armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other temporary dangers. This status is only available to people from certain countries.

Re-registration for current TPS holders
If you already have TPS for Nicaragua under a previous designation, you can re-register to extend it further to July 5, 2025.
If you had TPS under the 1999 designation, your TPS will no longer be automatically extended for the Ramos court case. You must re-register to keep your TPS benefits.
To re-register, you must file a new Form I-821 by July 5, 2025. You can file your application with USCIS online or by mail. You do not have to pay a fee.
It is important to re-register as soon as possible. The deadline is also the last day TPS for Nicaragua is currently available.
If you missed the deadline to re-register, you can submit a late re-registration application. You will also have to submit a letter explaining why you filed it late, such as a serious illness. You can re-register online or by mail with USCIS under the Where To File section.
If you currently have TPS under the 1999 designation and your EAD card has a category A-12 or C-19, your work permit is automatically extended to March 9, 2025. You should receive a Form I-797, Notice of Action, so keep your address updated with USCIS.
If you re-register for TPS and apply for a new EAD, it will be valid through July 5, 2025.

TPS ጊዜው ሲያበቃ ምን ይሆን?
DHS will review country conditions at least 60 days prior to when it is set to expire. They will decide whether to continue it further. If TPS for Nicaragua expires, you will have the same immigration status you had before getting temporary protected status.
If you do not have another legal immigration status besides TPS, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained and deported.
