Extension of South Sudan Designation for Temporary Protected Status

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Notice of extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation.

The designation of South Sudan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was set to expire on May 3, 2025, is automatically extended to November 3, 2025. Under the TPS statute, if the Secretary does not determine whether a foreign state continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS at least 60 days before the current expiration of the country's TPS designation, the period of designation is automatically extended for six months. The Secretary was unable to make an informed determination on South Sudan's designation by the March 4, 2025 statutory deadline due to the lack of an updated analysis of current country conditions in South Sudan. Accordingly, the TPS designation of South Sudan is automatically extended for six months, from May 4, 2025, through November 3, 2025.

The six-month extension of South Sudan for TPS is effective May 4, 2025, and will remain in effect through November 3, 2025.
