Last week, we posted about the revocation of the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for individuals from Venezuela. As explained last week, there were two Venezuela TPS designations:
- A March 9, 2021 designation that expires on September 10, 2025. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must decide by July 12, 2025 whether to extend or terminate the designation.
- An October 3, 2023 designation that expires on April 2, 2025.
On February 5, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a notice in the Federal Register terminating the October 3, 2023 TPS designation of Venezuela. The termination will be effective sixty (60) days after the publication of the notice in the Federal Register–April 7, 2025. Nationals of Venezuela under the October 2023 designation will no longer have Temporary Protected Status as of 11:59 p.m. on April 7 and will lose their authorization to work on April 2.
