Temporary Protected Status
Extension and Redesignation for Burma (Myanmar)
Thursday, May 9, 2024
1-2 p.m. Eastern
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services invites you to participate in a stakeholder engagement on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Burma (Myanmar) on Thursday, May 9, from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern.
On March 22, 2024, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced the extension and redesignation of Burma for TPS for 18 months. The extension of TPS for Burma allows current beneficiaries to retain TPS through Nov. 25, 2025, if they meet eligibility requirements. Existing beneficiaries of TPS for Burma seeking to avoid gaps in their employment authorization may re-register during the 60-day re-registration period which runs from March 25, 2024, through May 24, 2024. The redesignation allows Burmese nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Burma) who have continuously resided in the United States since March 21, 2024, and have been continuously physically present in the United States since May 26, 2024, to file initial applications for TPS, if they are otherwise eligible.
During this engagement, USCIS will provide an overview of the extension and redesignation of Burma for TPS. We will then hold a question-and-answer session. We will not address case-specific questions, questions outside the scope of the engagement, or issues under active litigation.
