The US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the extension and reregistration of Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopians through December 12, 2025. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced the extension and redesignation period.

As many as 2,300 beneficiaries may be eligible to re-register. Additionally, 12,800 Ethiopian immigrants who arrive in the United States before April 11, 2024, may file initial applications for TPS.

If you already have TPS, you must re-register by June 14, 2024. Failing to re-register may jeopardize your status.

How To Renew TPS Status for Ethiopians

You may register for TPS as a first-time applicant, or you may renew your status.

First-time applicants

First-time Ethiopian TPS applicants present in the United States who meet the qualifications may submit Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status. Filing dates are from April 15, 2024, to December 12, 2025.

Applicants may also file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, at the same time or later. Once you are granted TPS, you may also qualify to apply for advance parole travel authorization. However, you should discuss the risks with an immigration attorney before doing so. To qualify for initial TPS, an applicant must demonstrate continuous residence from April 11, 2024, and physical presence in the United States from June 13, 2024.

Current beneficiary

If you previously received an Ethiopia TPS designation, you must re-register. Current beneficiaries must re-register by June 14, 2024.

Previously issued Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) are automatically extended to June 12, 2025.

What Happens If You Do Not Pre-Register?

USCIS may withdraw your protected status for reasons stated in 8 CFR § 244.14. If you have received a notice from USCIS or AAO regarding the withdrawal of your TPS, please contact an immigration attorney.

Pending applications

USCIS will continue to process Ethiopian TPS applications that are pending under the previous designation. If approved, status will be granted through December 12, 2025.

Students

F-1 non-immigrant students may request Special Student Relief with work authorization. They may increase their working hours during school terms and reduce their course load with F-1 status in the TPS period.

Medya and her exceptional team at Getachew & Ansari Immigration have been the guiding stars on my challenging path towards securing my green card. As I look back on the years we've spent together, they have become more than just my migration lawyers; they have become an extension of my family. From day one, my case was a maze of complexities and obstacles, but Medya's expertise and her team's dedication transformed the seemingly impossible into a reality. what truly sets Medya and her team apart is their personal touch. They are not just legal professionals; they are genuine friends who care deeply about the well-being of their clients. They've walked beside me, understanding not only the intricacies of immigration law but also the emotional and psychological toll it can take on individuals. Throughout the journey, there were moments of despair and hopelessness. But Medya and her team were always there to provide a ray of hope, offering kind words, a listening ear, and a comforting presence. Their knowledge, professionalism, and expertise are unparalleled, but it is their humanity and compassion that truly shine. In a world where legal matters can often be impersonal and intimidating, Medya and her team have redefined what it means to have immigration representation. They've transformed the legal process into a deeply personal and transformative journey, and I couldn't be more grateful for their guidance. To Medya and her incredible team, you are not just legal professionals; you are guardians of dreams, friends, and cherished family.

Everyone at this law firm is very professional and nice to work with, especially Attorney Medya Ansari. She is phenomenal. Today, my friend was granted asylum because of Medya's hard work, preparation, and guidance. Ms. Ansari is thorough, compassionate, dedicated, detailed, accommodating, and easy to work with. We are so happy and fortunate to have found the law firm through a simple Google search. I would highly recommend using their services for immigration matters. Congratulations on winning another case!

Yemi is Incredibly Amazing .I most confess, she us one of the best immigration attorney ever. I met Yemi with a complicated case that two attorneys messed up for me over a period of 3yrs. They focused on collecting money from me and left me hopeless. Applications for work authorization and adjustment of status was denied. They told me my case is a difficult one that is not possible to win.
But guess what, when I met Yemi, she reassured me that my case can be adjusted. It took her less than 4months to reverse everything to a great success. My work authorization was approved in 3months and the 4th month, my green card granted. Isn't she incredible? Yemi relate with you at a personal level while maintaining her professionalism. No matter how difficult or complex your case is, Yemi is capable to handle it with ease and great success. Her constant smiles relaxes your tensed environment and kills any pressure or stress mounted in you. I highly recommend Yemi to anyone who is looking for a Trusted and Reliable immigration attorney with a gold of succeeding.
