USCIS Guidance on Late Initial Registration for TPS
From USCIS.gov:
Guidance on Late Initial Registration for TPS Applicants
Introduction Background The re-registration period for Hondurans and Nicaraguans who already have TPS started on May 5, 2010 and will end on July 6, 2010. Further details on this extension of TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua appear in the Federal Register notices published on May 5, which announced the extension of these two designations. In addition, certain nationals of Honduras and Nicaragua who have not previously applied for TPS may be able to register under the late initial registration provisions. Questions & Answers Q1. Can a Nicaraguan or Honduran who was in the United States as of Dec. 30, 1998, but did not register for TPS during the initial designation of Nicaragua and Honduras in 1999, register for TPS now?
If you are applying for TPS for the first time under the late initial registration provisions, you must register while one of the above qualifying conditions still exists, or no later than 60 days after the expiration or termination of the qualifying condition. The qualifying condition you seek to use for eligibility under late initial filing must have existed during the initial TPS registration period for Nicaragua or the initial TPS registration period for Honduras TPS (January 5, 1999 through August 20, 1999). Q3. If I didn’t have a qualifying condition during the initial TPS registration period, but had it during the last re-registration (extension), am I eligible to submit a late initial filing for TPS now? Q4. If I am currently the spouse or child of someone granted TPS, but I did not apply for TPS during the initial registration period, can I submit a late initial filing now? Q5. How do I learn more about TPS?
