The Department of Homeland Security filed a Signed Rule that lengthened to TPS for Haitians for the total of 18 months, and we applaud them for such a ruling.

For the many questions of what to do and how to do, USCIS has developed some Q&A info sheet with information regarding the Haitian Relief Measures implemented by their department as well as some basic information on TPS for Haitians.
