Guidance on Late Initial Registration for TPS Applicants
Introduction
This fact sheet focuses on the requirements for filing a late initial registration application for Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Background
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extended TPS for 18 months, through Jan. 5, 2012, to eligible nationals of Honduras and Nicaragua (and people having no nationality who last habitually resided in these countries). This extension does not apply to Hondurans and Nicaraguans who entered the United States after Dec. 30, 1998.
