Re-registration is limited to Salvadorans who (1) entered the U.S. before February 13, 2001, (2) have previously registered or re-registered for TPS under El Salvador’s designation, (3) whose previous applications were granted, and (4) whose TPS has not been withdrawn. However, CASA and other organizations are continuing to fight and pressure the government to re-designate TPS for El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal, and designate Guatemala so that everyone currently in the U.S. from those countries can live and work in peace and security, without fear of deportation.
