Notes: These data reflect the number of individuals (rounded to the nearest five by USCIS) with an approved TPS application as of March 31, 2024, who had not obtained lawful permanent resident status or U.S. citizenship. These data may include individuals who have left the country or died since their last TPS approval and do not necessarily include all nationals from the specified countries who are in the United States and are eligible for the status. Numbers are rounded to the nearest five by USCIS and may not sum to total due to rounding. The arrival date represents the date from which individuals are required to have continuously resided in the United States in order to qualify for TPS and is indicated in the most recent TPS designation for that country. If a country is redesignated for TPS, the required arrival date may change. (A foreign national is not considered to have failed this requirement for a “brief, casual, and innocent” absence. See 8 U.S.C. §1254a(c) and 8 C.F.R. §244.1.) The expiration date represents the end of the most recent designation period and is subject to change based on the DHS secretary's future decisions.
