               CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

 

PART 244_TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS FOR NATIONALS OF DESIGNATED STATES

--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 244.17  Annual registration.



    (a) Aliens granted Temporary Protected Status must register annually 

with the INS designated office having jurisdiction over their place of 

residence. Such registration will apply to nationals of those foreign 

states designated or redesignated for more than one year by the Attorney 

General pursuant to section 244(b) of the Act. Registration may be 

accomplished by mailing or submitting in person, depending on the 

practice in place at the INS designated office, completed Forms I-821 

and I-765 within the thirty (30) day period prior to the anniversary of 

the grant of Temporary Protected Status (inclusive of such anniversary 

date). Form I-821 will be filed without fee. Form I-765 will be filed 

with fee only if the alien is requesting employment authorization. 

Completing the block on the I-821 attesting to the continued maintenance 

of the conditions of eligibility will generally preclude the need for 

supporting documents or evidence. The Service, however, reserves the 

right to request additional information and/or documentation on a case-

by-case basis.

    (b) Unless the Service determines otherwise, registration by mail 

shall suffice to meet the alien's registration requirements. However, as 

part of the registration process, an alien will generally have to appear 

in person in order to secure a renewal of employment authorization 

unless the Service determines that employment authorization will be 

extended in another fashion due to operational need. The Service may 

also request that an alien appear in person as part of the registration 

process. In such cases, failure to appear without good cause shall be 

deemed a failure to register under this chapter.

    (c) Failure to register without good cause will result in the 

withdrawal of the alien's Temporary Protected Status.
