📝USCIS New Data Collection Requirements for Immigration Forms

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment upon this proposed new collection of information. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the information collection notice is published in the Federal Register to obtain comments regarding the nature of the information collection, the categories of respondents, the estimated burden (i.e., the time, effort, and resources used by the respondents to respond), the estimated cost to the respondent, and the actual information collection instruments. This collection of information is necessary to comply with section 2 of the Executive order (E.O.) 14161 entitled "Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats" to establish enhanced screening and vetting standards and procedures to enable USCIS to assess an alien's eligibility to receive an immigration-related benefit.

⚖️Impact of Afghanistan's TPS Termination on Businesses and Employment

Through this notice, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) is terminating the designation of Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The designation of Afghanistan is set to expire on May 20, 2025. After reviewing country conditions and consulting with appropriate U.S. Government agencies, the Secretary determined that Afghanistan no longer continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS. The Secretary therefore is terminating the TPS designation of Afghanistan as required by statute. This termination is effective July 14, 2025. After July 14, 2025, nationals of Afghanistan (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Afghanistan) who have been granted TPS under Afghanistan's designation will no longer have TPS.

🇸🇩Extension of Temporary Protected Status Designation for South Sudan

The designation of South Sudan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was set to expire on May 3, 2025, is automatically extended to November 3, 2025. Under the TPS statute, if the Secretary does not determine whether a foreign state continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS at least 60 days before the current expiration of the country's TPS designation, the period of designation is automatically extended for six months. The Secretary was unable to make an informed determination on South Sudan's designation by the March 4, 2025 statutory deadline due to the lack of an updated analysis of current country conditions in South Sudan. Accordingly, the TPS designation of South Sudan is automatically extended for six months, from May 4, 2025, through November 3, 2025.
