The Department of Homeland Security is terminating immigration benefits for 2,500 Nicaraguans who were allowed to work in the U.S. under a provisional residency known as “Temporary Protected Status,” but is holding off to decide the future of the program for 57,000 Hondurans.

Nicaraguan TPS beneficiaries have 14 months to leave the U.S. or qualify to remain in the U.S. legally through a different visa category. Those who remain in the U.S. after Jan. 5, 2019, without obtaining another visa category, will revert to their previous immigration status.
