DHS Announces 18-Month Redesignation and Extension of Temporary Protected Status for Yemen
WASHINGTON — Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson has redesignated Yemen for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and extended the existing TPS designation for the country for an additional 18 months, from March 4, 2017, through Sept. 3, 2018. This allows eligible nationals of Yemen (or persons without nationality who last habitually resided in Yemen) to register or re-register for TPS in accordance with the Federal Register notice published today.
| Who is Eligible | Current TPS Status | When to File |
| Current TPS beneficiaries from Yemen | Have TPS | To extend your TPS, you must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period that runs from Jan. 4, 2017, through March 6, 2017. |
Yemeni nationals and persons without nationality who last habitually resided in Yemen, who have:
| Do not have TPS | To obtain TPS, you may apply for TPS during the 180-day initial registration period that runs from Jan. 4, 2017, through July 3, 2017. |
Individuals re-registering for TPS:
Current beneficiaries under Yemen’s TPS designation seeking to extend their TPS must re-register during a 60-day period that runs from Jan. 4, 2017, through March 6, 2017. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) encourages beneficiaries to re-register as soon as possible.
The 18-month extension also allows TPS re-registrants to apply for a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Eligible Yemen TPS beneficiaries who re-register during the 60-day period and request a new EAD will receive one with an expiration date of Sept. 3, 2018. USCIS recognizes that some re-registrants may not receive their new EADs until after their current work permits expire. Therefore, USCIS is automatically extending the validity of current TPS Yemen EADs with an expiration date of March 3, 2017, for an additional six months. These existing EADs are now valid through Sept. 3, 2017.
To re-register, current TPS beneficiaries must submit:
- Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status (re-registrants do not need to pay the Form I-821 application fee);
- Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, regardless of whether they want an EAD;
- The Form I-765 application fee (or a fee-waiver request) only if they want an EAD. If the re-registrant does not want an EAD, no application fee is required; and
- The biometric services fee (or a fee-waiver request) if they are age 14 or older.
Individuals applying for TPS for the first time:
For Yemeni nationals (and persons having no nationality who last habitually resided in Yemen) who do not currently have TPS, the TPS redesignation may allow them to apply for TPS if they have continuously resided in the United States since Jan. 4, 2017, and have been continuously physically present in the United States since March 4, 2017. Applicants must meet all other TPS eligibility and filing requirements.
To apply for the first time, individuals must submit:
- Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status;
- The Form I-821 application fee;
- Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, regardless of whether they want an EAD;
- The Form I-765 application fee, but only if they want an EAD and are 14 to 65 years old (those under 14 or 66 and older do not need to pay the Form I-765 application fee with their initial TPS application); and
- The biometric services fee if they are age 14 or older.
Individuals who still have a pending initial TPS application under Yemen’s designation do not need to submit a new Form I-821. However, if they currently have a TPS-related EAD and want a new EAD, they should submit:
- Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization;
- The Form I-765 application fee, regardless of their age; and
- A copy of the receipt notice for the initial Form I-821 that is still pending.
Applicants may request that USCIS waive any fees based on inability to pay by filing Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, or by submitting a written request. Fee-waiver requests must be accompanied by supporting documentation. USCIS will reject the application of any applicant who fails to submit the required filing fees or a properly documented fee-waiver request.
All USCIS forms are available for free. Download forms or order them by mail through the USCIS website at uscis.gov/forms or by calling the USCIS Forms Request Line toll-free at 1-800-870-3676.
Applicants can check their case status at My Case Status Online or by calling the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 (TDD for the deaf and hard of hearing: 1-800-767-1833).

Hay una aplicación para eso (pero podrÃa ser falsa)
22 de diciembre de 2016
Como cada vez hay más consumidores que hacen sus compras con aplicaciones móviles, los defraudadores van detrás del dinero. Están apareciendo aplicaciones móviles falsas que, para robarte tu información personal, se hacen pasar por aplicaciones de comerciantes reconocidos. Sus nombres son similares a las marcas reconocidas, y en sus descripciones se ofrecen ofertas o funciones tentadoras.
Pero estas aplicaciones fraudulentas pueden capturar la información de tu tarjeta de crédito o tu cuenta bancaria. Algunas aplicaciones falsas incluso pueden instalar un programa malicioso en tu teléfono y exigirte dinero para desbloquearlo.
Te damos algunas recomendaciones para que evites descargar aplicaciones fraudulentas:
- ¿Tienes dudas sobre la legitimidad de una aplicación de compras? Visita directamente el sitio web del vendedor y fÃjate si la promociona. Si tienen una aplicación, en el sitio te indicarán que vayas a la tienda de aplicaciones desde donde podrás descargarla.
- Puedes hacer una búsqueda en internet ingresando el nombre de la marca más “aplicación falsa” para ver si la compañÃa reportó la falsificación de su marca.
- Antes de descarga la aplicación, busca comentarios – tanto en las tiendas de aplicaciones como en internet. Si no encuentras ningún comentario u opinión sobre la aplicación, es probable que la hayan creado recientemente, y podrÃa ser falsa. Las aplicaciones auténticas de las tiendas importantes suelen tener miles de comentarios.
- No descargues aplicaciones cuyas descripciones tengan palabras con errores de ortografÃa. Muchas de las aplicaciones falsas se crearon a las apuradas. Por otra parte, algunas aplicaciones falsas son casi iguales a las verdaderas.
Si estás usando aplicaciones para hacer compras, conserva los registros de tus transacciones. Guarda o toma una captura de pantalla de la descripción y precio, el recibo electrónico y los emails que intercambies con el vendedor.
Monitorea con frecuencia los resúmenes de cuenta de tu tarjeta de crédito; fÃjate bien si figura algún cargo que no reconozcas.
Para más recomendaciones sobre cómo usar las aplicaciones en tu teléfono de manera segura, échale un vistazo a nuestro artÃculo Aplicaciones móviles: Qué son y cómo funcionan.

USCIS Announces Extension of Parole for Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens
CNMI — To allow immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and certain “stateless” individuals to maintain legal status in the CNMI, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has extended the parole program for these relatives, effective immediately, until December 31, 2018.
To apply for extension of this parole, you must:
- Reside in the CNMI;
- Be an immediate relative, which for purposes of this parole program means you are the legal spouse, unmarried child under 21, or parent (regardless of the age of your child) of a U.S. citizen; and
- Have been previously granted parole.
Your request for extension of parole must include:
- A letter from you, the immediate relative (or from the U.S. citizen family member if the immediate relative is a child who is too young to complete the parole request package). The letter must:
- Ask for an extension of parole;
- Explain under what relationship you are requesting this parole (such as parent, spouse, child); and
- Note whether you have been arrested or convicted of any crime since your last request.
- Form G-325, Biographic Information, that you completed within the past 30 days
- A copy of your I-94;
- A copy of any Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that you received; and
- A copy of your passport (only if a new one was issued since you last applied for parole).
There is no fee for this extension request. We recommend that you keep a copy of all documents. Seal all the above items in one envelope and clearly write on the outside of the envelope:
- Your name;
- “PAROLE EXTENSION FOR IR of USC”; and
- The expiration date of your current parole.
You can make an appointment for your parole extension request at the USCIS office on Saipan, or you can mail your request to:
DHS-USCIS
ATTN: PAROLE EXTENSION – CNMI
770 East Sunset Boulevard, Suite 185
Barrigada, Guam 96913
This parole extension will allow the immediate relative to lawfully remain with the U.S. citizen in the CNMI, but parole does not authorize employment. Immediate relatives must, as before, obtain an EAD by submitting Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, or obtain work authorization as a CW-1 CNMI-Only Transitional Worker or in another employment-based nonimmigrant status under federal immigration law.
This announcement does not extend to anyone other than the immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and certain “stateless” individuals. USCIS may grant parole on a case-by-case basis based on the individual circumstances and has exercised parole authority on a case-by-case basis in the CNMI since 2009 for special situations.
USCIS is the agency within the Department of Homeland Security that is responsible for immigration benefits.
