A Big Change for Venezuelans in the USA

USATue Feb 04 2025
VENEZUELANA US FRIENDS! BIG CHANGE is on the horizon for Venezuelan people living in the US. It has been announced that their special protection status in the country is coming to an end. It seems that an official has found out that Venezuela is no longer going through the problems it once was, so Venezuelan people that enrolled in the program will not have the benefits after two months of a public announcement. The rules were said to be for only one year till September 2024. The Home Department is responsible for any updates regarding this. People will have to visit the immigration website to get the most current information. This is a critical bump in the road for the many Venezuelan families who have been calling the US their home. Background Information: The Trump administration, in 2019 introduced TPS for Venezuelans after a period of political unrest. The situation in their country is still fragile. Keep checking social media for any news about this program. You can find information from the home department on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn.
