Yesterday, I had the pleasure of joining Caferro<\/strong> on his program Caferro News<\/strong><\/a> to talk about one of the most confusing immigration issues we are currently facing: the situation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I explained during the interview, the Department of Homeland Security<\/strong> announced the termination of the 2021 TPS for Venezuela<\/strong><\/a>, but a judge in California placed that decision on hold<\/a>. The government immediately appealed that pause, and now the appeals court has ruled that the pause remains in place.<\/p>\n

What does this mean? For now, Venezuelans with TPS from 2021 are still considered protected. However, this protection may only last until November 2025, when the 60-day grace period ends. After that, it is uncertain whether TPS will continue.<\/p>\n

Many people ask me whether they should re-register for TPS now. The USCIS system does not allow electronic filing for Venezuela TPS at this time. In my practice, I am sending paper applications by mail, even though there is a risk they may be rejected, denied, or placed on hold. The reason is that filing may help protect individuals if the courts later uphold TPS, just as it happened earlier this year when certain re-registrants were granted TPS and work permits valid through 2026.<\/p>\n

We also touched on another important issue: carrying proof of citizenship or legal status. A driver\u2019s license is not valid proof. Carrying an actual passport is risky, but you can keep a reduced laminated copy of the ID page, obtain a passport card, or carry a digital copy of your U.S. birth certificate.<\/p>\n

Immigration law is always changing, and this TPS situation is especially complex.<\/p>\n
