Nicaragua
“On October 1, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) formally announced an eighteen-month extension of the TPS designation for eligible Honduran and Nicaraguan nationals from January 6, 2009 to July 5, 2010. Unlike the prior extension of TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, the Federal Register notices announcing the latest TPS extensions do not automatically extend previously issued employment authorization documents (EADs). Eligible TPS beneficiaries must apply to USCIS for extensions of their EADs, and pay the required application fee for such extensions, during the 60-day registration period. Re-registration is limited to persons who have previously registered with USCIS for TPS under the designation of Honduras and Nicragua and whose applications have been granted by or remain pending with USCIS. ”
