U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announces an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals of Sudan through May 2, 2010. This will allow those who have already been granted TPS an opportunity to re-register and maintain their status for an additional 18 months (though this is NOT refugee status). TPS does not apply to Sudanese nationals who entered the United States after Oct. 4, 2007. USCIS also automatically extended the validity of employment authorization documents (EADs) held by Sudanese nationals in current TPS status from Nov. 2, 2008 to May 2, 2009. This extension will allow sufficient time for eligible TPS beneficiaries to receive their new EADs without lapse.
