The United States government announced in December 2022 that it is extending and redesignating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. TPS is a temporary immigration status that gives people protection from deportation for as long as their TPS status remains valid. They are also eligible for a work permit (Employment Authorization Document or EAD), and can apply for permission to travel outside of the U.S.

The United States government is offering Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Ethiopian nationals who have been in the U.S. since October 20, 2022. TPS gives people temporary protection from deportation, legal status, and a work permit (Employment Authorization Card). TPS is temporary. The current designation of Ethiopia TPS is for 18 months, from December 12, 2022, to June 12, 2024. Prior to the end of the designation, the U.S. government will decide whether to extend TPS for Ethiopia or to end it.
