Immigration attorney Jesus Reyes explains the latest changes regarding TPS for Venezuelans following the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that paused Judge Chen’s order. Key points from the video:
- The 2021 TPS protection and work permits are extended until November 7, 2025.
- Beneficiaries of the 2023 TPS no longer have protection, unless they renewed their TPS before February 5, 2025, or qualify for the automatic 540-day extension.
- The case is now before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which could reverse the decision. Although there is hope, it is important to explore other immigration alternatives such as: - Political asylum (even if more than a year has passed since your arrival).
- Employment-based visas (EB-1, EB-2 NIW, EB-3). - Humanitarian visas such as the U or T visa. Recommendations on traveling with valid TPS and how a legal reentry can help with adjustment of status.
Final tips: stay informed, do not panic, and seek professional legal advice.
