U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has extended Temporary Protected Status for Haitians for an additional six months.  This extension is effective July 23, 2017 through January 22, 2018.  Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly stated that, "“This six-month extension should allow Haitian TPS recipients living in the United States time to attain travel documents and make other necessary arrangements for their ultimate departure from the United States, and should also provide the Haitian government with the time it needs to prepare for the future repatriation of all current TPS recipients."
