TPS Venezuela 2023

On February 1, 2025, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that Temporary Protected Status for Venezuela under the 2023 designation will be terminated as of April 2, 2025. There will be no re-registration for this designation.

What is Temporary Protected Status (TPS)?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is temporary immigration status in the United States given to eligible individuals of certain countries that cannot safely return home due to war, famine, or other political or humanitarian issues.

How do I know under which designation I registered?

The designation date for TPS 2023 was October 3, 2023. This means that if you did not have TPS Venezuela prior to this, your TPS was initiated under the 2023 designation and your TPS will expire April 2, 2025.

Can I file for TPS Venezuela under the 2021 designation?

Unfortunately, even if you meet the requirements – such as continuous residence in the US since March 8, 2021, and continuous physical presence in the US since March 9, 2021 – the initial registration period has passed.

Will my work permit expire when TPS is terminated?

Yes, your work permit will expire when your TPS expires on April 2, 2025.

If TPS expires, can I marry my US citizen partner and start a marriage petition?
