On November 10, 2017, and November 22, 2017, we posted on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) ending for Nicaragua and Haiti. 

Last week the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would be terminating the TPS designation for El Salvador as well. The nearly 200,000 Salvadorans who are currently present in the U.S. in TPS have until September 9, 2019 to either depart or to find another way to remain here lawfully under our immigration laws.

The U.S. Department of State has released the Visa Bulletin for January 2018. In addition to filing and filing action dates, the Bulletin includes information on the diversity visa cut-offs, the Special Immigrant translator visa availability, and the scheduled expiration of two employment visa categories.
