Extension and Redesignation of

redesignating Somalia for TPS for 18
months, effective September 18, 2012
through March 17, 2014. The extension
allows currently eligible TPS
beneficiaries to retain their TPS through
March 17, 2014. The redesignation of
Somalia allows additional individuals
who have been continuously residing in
the United States since May 1, 2012, to
obtain TPS, if eligible. The Secretary has
determined that an extension is
warranted because the conditions in
Somalia that prompted the TPS
designation continue to be met. There
continues to be a substantial, but
temporary, disruption of living
conditions in Somalia based upon
ongoing armed conflict and
extraordinary and temporary conditions
in that country that prevent Somalis
who now have TPS from safely
returning.
This notice also sets forth procedures
necessary for nationals of Somalia (or
aliens having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Somalia) to reregister under the extension if they
already have TPS or to submit an initial
registration application under the
redesignation, and to file Applications
for Employment Authorization (Forms
I–765) with U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS).
Under the redesignation, individuals
who currently do not have TPS, or a
TPS application pending, may apply for
TPS from May 1, 2012 through October
29, 2012. In addition to demonstrating
continuous residence in the United
States since May 1, 2012, USCIS will
determine whether initial applicants for
TPS under this redesignation have
demonstrated that they have been
continuously physically present in the
United States since September 18, 2012,
the effective date of the redesignation of
Somalia, before USCIS grants them TPS.
For individuals who have already
been granted TPS under the Somalia
designation, the 60-day re-registration
period will run from May 1, 2012
through July 2, 2012. USCIS will issue
new Employment Authorization
Documents (EADs) with a March 17,
2014 expiration date to eligible Somali
TPS beneficiaries who timely re-register
and apply for EADs under this
extension.
Extension of TPS: The 18-month
extension of the TPS designation of
Somalia is effective September 18, 2012,
and will remain in effect through March
17, 2014. The 60-day re-registration
period begins May 1, 2012 and will
remain in effect until July 2, 2012.
Redesignation of Somalia for TPS:
The redesignation of Somalia for TPS is
effective September 18, 2012, and will
