Posted By Bradley Maged On September 25, 2008 @ 7:35 am In Uncategorized | No Comments

According to a [1] USCIS Press Release:  “U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it will extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals of

El Salvador through Sep. 9, 2010.   The extension will make those who have already been granted TPS eligible to reregister and maintain their status for an additional 18 months.  There are approximately 229,000 nationals of El Salvador (and people having no nationality who last habitually resided in

El Salvador) who are eligible for reregistration.  TPS does not apply to Salvadoran nationals who entered the

United States after Feb. 13, 2001.”
