MIAMI, FL- The Biden Administration announced that, on August 3rd, 2021, it will publish the Federal Register for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eligible Haitians currently residing in the United States. This could allow over 150,000 Haitians to remain in the United States with legal standing. Eligible immigrants- must prove they entered the United States on or before July 29, 2021. Once granted, their TPS status would last for up to 18 months. FANM applauds this decision and stands ready to assist members with the application process.
Marleine Bastien, Executive Director of Family Action Network Movement (FANM), stated, "We applaud and commend the Biden Administration's decision to publish the Federal Register for TPS for Haiti. I also commend its decision to extend the date to July 29, 2021 as I requested during Secretary Mayorkas’ s passage in Little Haiti. I’m so happy that we’ll be able to deliver good news to those who came after May 21, 2021 and have been calling incessantly for news.
Family Action Network Movement (FANM) formerly known as Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami, Inc)/ Haitian Women of Miami is a private not-for-profit organization dedicated to the social, economic, financial and political empowerment of low to moderate-income families.
