Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Re-registration Period for Nationals of Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador Ended December 30, 2008
Wednesday, 07 January 2009 13:05

Individuals may re-register after the close of the re-registration period only if they demonstrate good cause for failing to file during the re-registration period.   To re-register based on the good cause exception, individuals must submit their applications to the address listed in the Oct. 1, 2008 Federal Register notice for the extension of their country’s designation for TPS and must include a letter explaining why they feel they have good cause for failing to re-register during the re-registration period, along with any evidence they may have to substantiate this explanation. USCIS will consider requests filed after the re-registration period has closed on a case-by-case basis.

TPS beneficiaries must submit Form I-821 (Application for Temporary Protected Status) without the application fee, and Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) in order to re-register for TPS. If the applicant is only seeking to re-register for TPS and not seeking an extension of employment authorization, he or she must submit Form I-765 for data-gathering purposes only, and is not required to submit the I-765 filing fee.

All applicants seeking an extension of employment authorization through the duration of the

18-month TPS extension must submit the required application filing fee with Form I-765. The biometric service fee must be submitted by all re-registrants 14 years of age and older.   Applicants who cannot pay the fees may file requests for fee waivers with sufficient documentation of their inability to pay.

About letter of invitation

A "Letter of invitation" is supplementary information that explains a visa applicant's intended purpose of travel and often useful. A letter of invitation explaining the nature of applicant's business in the U.S. and the nature of the relationship between the inviting party and the applicant is helpful. By writing a letter of invitation, you are not legally responsible for the visitor once they get to USA, but you should provide the letter in good faith. You must give truthful information and intend to keep the promises you made in the letter.

Letter of invitation from a U.S. sponsor

Letter of invitation from a U.S. sponsor will not necessarily guarantee that the holder will receive a visa. The consular officer evaluates each visa application on its own merits according to visa law and procedures. The best help that a U.S. Citizen can give to a visitor visa applicant is to make sure that applicant has all the information they need to submit a correct application and explain fully the standards for visa issuance.
