New York, NY, United States - Immigration officials in New York told Haitians in the country that they will be granted temporary protected status (TPS) to allow them to legally stay and work in the country temporarily.
New York Citizenship Immigration Service district director Andrea Quarantillo informed Haitians in a briefing in Manhattan about the new immigration program aimed at helping Haitians, whose families were victims of the earthquake that devastated the Caribbean country.
The TPS will also allow Haitians in the US to travel home to help their countrymen and return to the U.S. without being denied re-entry, according to Quarantillo.
Only Haitians in the U.S. are covered by the new immigration program. Those in detention centers are also eligible to apply for TPS.
