Secretary Mayorkas Extends and Redesignates Temporary Protected Status for Ukraine. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine for 18 months, from October 20, 2023, through April 19, 2025, due to ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in Ukraine that prevent individuals from safely returning. In addition, DHS announced a redesignation of TPS for Ukraine for the same reason, allowing Ukrainian nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Ukraine) residing in the United States as of August 16, 2023, to be eligible for TPS. Accompanying this announcement is a Special Student Relief notice for F-1 nonimmigrant students whose country of citizenship is Ukraine so the students may request employment authorization, work an increased number of hours while school is in session, and reduce their course load while continuing to maintain F-1 status through the TPS designation period. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas made the decision to extend and redesignate TPS for this population in consultation with interagency partners and with careful consideration of conditions. #uscis #TPS #ukraine https://lnkd.in/eFfusjZR

What do we know about DED so far? - It will allow for individuals who were physically present inside the U.S. as of February 14, 2024 to apply for a work permit. - DED is not an immigration status, or a path to any permanent status. - It appears DED can overlap with some other type of status, for example F-1 student status. - DED is different from Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
