Fri Jan 10 17:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Biden Administration Extends Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans
**Washington, D.C.** – The Biden administration announced on January 10th an 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans who entered the United States before July 31, 2023. This affects approximately 600,000 individuals, who will retain their TPS provided they re-register and continue to meet eligibility requirements.
The designation, initially granted in March 2021 in response to the ongoing political and economic crisis in Venezuela, allows beneficiaries to legally reside and work in the United States. The extension provides continued stability and crucial immigration relief to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan nationals who have fled their homeland. The 18-month extension will allow the government to further assess the situation in Venezuela.
