There was an error by processing Advance Parole documents (the so called "Form I-512") earlier this year. U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) announced today
that it will reissue these in response
to documents that were mailed to applicants with an incorrect issue
date of January 5, 1990 (instead of 2010). All affected documents have been identified
and USCIS will automatically reissue documents to individuals who have
received a document with the incorrect issue date.
According to USCIS all documents
continue to be valid. This is because the expiration dates remain accurate, therefore
it is not necessary for applicants to contact USCIS regarding their
pending application unless their application is outside the "normal"
processing time of 90 days.
If you need to
travel urgently and you have received a document with an invalid issue
date, then you may travel using the incorrect document. U.S. Customs
& Border Protection (CBP) has been alerted however, you may be
questioned about the issuance date. Therefore, please print this
explanation to share with CBP if necessary. You can also contact our law firm for more support.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
announced today that eligible Haitian nationals in the United States
may begin the application process for Temporary Protected Status. Details and procedures for applying for TPS are provided in the Federal Register notice published today.
On
Jan. 15, 2010, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
designated TPS for eligible Haitian nationals as a result of the
catastrophic earthquake that occurred in Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010.
The TPS designation for Haiti is effective January 21, 2010 and will remain in effect through July 22, 2011.
The designation means that eligible Haitian nationals will not be
removed from the United States and will also be eligible to apply to
work in the United States. The 180-day registration period for eligible
Haitian nationals to apply for TPS begins today and will end on July 20, 2010.
The
designation applies only to those Haitians who resided in the United
States on or before Jan. 12, 2010; TPS will not be granted to Haitian
nationals who entered the United States after Jan. 12, 2010.
Haiti joins El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Somalia, and Sudan as countries currently designated for TPS.
If you are qualified for this status and need help, please contact us. We may assist you free of charge (pro bono).
