TPS DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR HONDURANS AND NICARAGUANS
In light of the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch last October, the US has decided to extend Temporary Protected Status for nationals of Honduras and Nicaragua for an additional 45 days. The primary reason for the extension is the difficulty experienced in attempting to obtain the necessary documentation from cities and towns that were destroyed by the hurricane. The new deadline is now August 20, 1999. This deadline is not a postmark deadline – rather, the INS must receive the application by the end of business on August 20.
Another change is that applicants need not submit a complete application. Those who are not able to obtain the necessary identification documents may instead submit an affidavit showing proof of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the information, and affirming that they are eligible nationals.
This does not change the period during which TPS will be extended. It is still set to expire on July 5, 2000.
