Congressional Privacy Release Form

FAQs on the Termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

Q1. What did the U.S. Supreme Court decide in Mullin v. Doe?
On its June 25, 2026 decision, the Court said federal judges generally cannot block DHS from ending TPS for Haiti, so the government can now carry out its termination plans. The ruling itself does not set the exact TPS end date for Haiti.

Q2. When is TPS for Haiti now expected to end?
Pursuant to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidance released on July 1, 2026, TPS Haiti beneficiaries will keep their status and their documentation will remain valid until the lower courts align with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, which could take approximately 32 daysfrom the date of the decision. We recommend checking the USCIS webpage for press releases on the updates. 

Q3. Will I be deported automatically when TPS ends? 
No. You are not deported automatically on the last TPS day. If you have no other lawful immigration status, you will, generally, return to the status you had before TPS. If you had no lawful status before receiving TPS, you may become removable under the immigration laws. However, in most cases, TPS ending does not automatically mean immediate deportation. Normally, DHS must decide whether to place you in removal proceedings. If you are placed in proceedings, you, generally, could appear before an immigration judge unless you are subject to an expedited removal process or another exception. During those proceedings, they may be able to apply for other forms of relief, if eligible. 

However, if you had a prior removal order issued against you, you should seek the advice of counsel as soon as possible, as you could be subject to immediate enforcement action, including arrest, detention, and removal.  

For legal assistance related to enforcement actions prior to detention, call the RAISE Hotline at 1-888-600-5762 or visit raise.is.  

If you or someone you know is in immigration detention, please call our Detention Program Hotline at 786-454-8554, Mondays to Thursdays, 9:00 am to 11:30 am ET and 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm ET.  

Q4. Can DHS or ICE come for me while TPS is still active? 
While TPS is valid, you are generally protected from removal based only on past lack of status. Separate criminal or security issues can still lead to enforcement, and once TPS ends you can be subject to removal if you have no other protection. 

Q5. What options do Haitian TPS holders have now? 
You should get an individual legal screening to see if you qualify for something else, such as family basedresidence, employment based options, humanitarian visas, or asylum/withholding. Eligibility depends on your specific situation, not TPS alone. 

Please note that Americans for Immigrant Justice (AI Justice) Legal Teams are present at FLIC’s Family Preparedness Clinics and/or Legal Consultations. You can find the schedule here. 

Q6. If I have U.S. citizen children or relatives, does that help? 
Possibly. U.S. citizen spouses, adult children, or certain other relatives can sometimes petition for you, but nothing is automatic. You need a proper petition, and you must meet all legal requirements. 

Q7. Can I apply for asylum now because Haiti is unsafe? 
Asylum is a separate protection and requires proof of persecution on specific legal grounds. Some Haitian TPS holders may qualify, but filing asylum without legal advice can be risky, especially if you have lived in the U.S. a long time. 

Q8. Should I travel outside the U.S. now? 
Travel is risky. Without proper advance parole, leaving can cause bars on coming back and complicate future cases. After TPS ends, TPSbased travel permission will not protect you from being denied reentry. 

Q9. What happens to people with pending green card or other applications? 
If you filed a valid application (for a green card, U visa, VAWA, etc.), the application process can continue after TPS ends. But you may lose TPSbased work or travel benefits, so ask your lawyer about other work permits or travel documents. 

Q10. What if I already have another status (for example, student or temporary work visa)? 
Your separate status does not end just because TPS ends. You will lose TPSbased protections and Employment Authorization Document or “EAD”, but you must follow all rules of your other visa or status. 

Q11. What can I do if there is no lawful option for me to stay in the U.S. after losing TPS? 

If you do not have another lawful basis to remain in the United States after TPS ends, you should speak with an immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative as soon as possible to determine whether you qualify for another form of immigration relief. If no lawful options are available, you may wish to discuss voluntary departure or other available processes with your attorney. 

DHS has announced financial assistance for certain individuals who voluntarily depart through the CBP Home app, subject to program requirements. 

Q12. What if I stay after TPS ends without any other status? 
You will be considered undocumented and removable. That can lead to arrest, detention, deportation, and extra-legal bars that make future immigration options harder. 

Q13. Can the U.S. deport me to another country? 

Generally, the government first seeks to remove a person to Haiti, their country of nationality. If that is not possible, U.S. immigration law provides a sequence of alternative countries that may be considered, such as a country where the person is also a citizen or a country that agrees to accept them. In limited circumstances, DHS may remove a person to another country authorized under the immigration laws. 

Q14. How can I prepare right now? 
Gather your immigration papers, passport, birth certificate, ID, social security card, and proof of your time in the U.S.  Also, collect your property records, bank account information, insurance policies and medical records. Make an appointment with a qualified immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative and talk with family about emergency plans and powers of attorney. 

Consider making a plan for: 

Think who would manage these responsibilities if you were unexpectedly detained. 

Q15. What is a Congressional Privacy Release and why should I sign one? 

A Congressional Privacy Release is a consent form that allows a member of Congress and their staff to legally access your personal information and communicate with federal agencies about your case.  

You should consider completing a Congressional Privacy Release form and leave it with a trusted family member or friend. If you are detained, that person can bring the signed form your U.S. Senator or Representative so they can communicate with federal agencies on your behalf and advocate for information regarding your case, medical care, detention conditions, and other urgent concerns. Without a signed written authorization, congressional offices cannot obtain information about an individual’s case from a federal agency. This form is valid for 90 days, so it should be renewed before it expires if it may still be needed. 

Q16. What happens to my U.S. born children if I lose TPS? 

Children born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens. They do not lose their citizenship status if a parent loses TPS, and they can stay in the U.S.  

Q17. How do I prepare my U.S. born children if I am deported? 

Consider creating a family plan, which may include: 

Families in need of immigration assistance may contact AI Justice’s Family Defense Program by calling 305-573-1106, ext. 8008, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am ET to 11:00 am ET, or email familydefense@aijustice.org.  

Q18. What happens to my U.S. child who is attending college? 

Your child can usually continue to attend college. For financial aid, U.S. citizen students can apply even if a parent is undocumented or lacks a social security number. 

Q19. What happens to my work permit (Employment Authorization Document or “EAD”)? 

As of July 10, 2026, the expiration date of your EAD is July 24, 2026.  

Q20. What happens to my bank account/retirement account?  

Your bank accounts, savings, and retirement accounts do not automatically close if your immigration status changes or if you leave the United States. However, rules about taxes, withdrawals, and access from abroad may change. It is important to contact your bank or retirement plan administrator to update your contact information and to make sure that you understand any tax or access rules that may apply. 

Q21. Will my health insurance still be active? 

If your health insurance comes through your job, your coverage usually continues as long as you remainemployed, and your employer continues to offer you coverage. 

However, if you lose work authorization and your employment ends, your employer-based health insurance will also likely end. 

Eligibility for Medicaid and similar public health insurance programs depends on income, household composition, and immigration status. If TPS ends, your eligibility for certain public health coverage programs may change depending on your immigration status and state law. However, some people may still qualify for: 

Q22. Can my household access SNAP and other benefits? 

Individuals with TPS from Haiti are not eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or most other federal public benefits. However, this decision does not affect benefits for other eligible people in your household: 

Q23. If I own a home or car, what happens to my property if I leave the country? 

If you leave the United States, you do not automatically lose ownership of your home or your car simply because your TPS ends or because you depart the country. Property ownership is generally separate from immigration status. You can continue to own real estate in the United States even if you are living abroad. You remain responsible for paying the mortgage (if you have one), property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance. If you stop making mortgage payments or paying property taxes, the lender could foreclose or the local government could eventually take action for unpaid taxes. 

You can continue to own your vehicle, but if you leave it in the U.S., you'll need to keep up with any loan payments, insurance (if required), and state registration requirements. If you no longer need the vehicle, you may choose to sell it before leaving. 

You can sell your home or car before or after leaving the United States. If you sell after leaving, you may need to sign documents remotely or appoint someone you trust through a valid power of attorney. 

Many people who expect to leave the U.S. also consider: 

Q24. If I want to return to Haiti, can I return? 

If you decide to return, your ability to return depends on your immigration history and whether you have permission to re-enter. In some situations, leaving the U.S. can result in immigration penalties that prevent you from returning for years or longer. You should speak with a trusted legal service provider before traveling or relocating. 

Q25. How do I avoid scams and bad advice? 
Do not trust “notarios” or anyone promising guaranteed green cards or protection for a fee. Only licensed attorneys and recognized DOJaccredited representatives can give immigration legal advice. 

Q27. Where can Haitian TPS holders find reliable information and help? 
Look to local legal aid offices, Haitian community centers, and established immigrant rights groups in your area. National organizations with TPS resources also publish updates you can share with your community.You may contact any of the following organizations:

Kesyon yo Poze Souvan sou Fin Estati Pwoteksyon Tanporè (TPS)^[1] 

K1. Ki desizyon Lakou Siprèm Etazini te pran nan ka *Mullin v. Doe* a? 

Nan desizyon li te pran nan dat 25 jen 2026 la, Lakou a te deklare ke jij federal yo pa ka anpeche Depatman Sekirite Enteryè (DHS) mete fen nan TPS pou Ayiti; kidonk, gouvènman an kapab kounye a aplike plan li genyen pou l mete fen nan pwogram nan. Desizyon an li menm pa fikse dat egzak pou fen TPS pou Ayiti.

K2. Ki lè yo prevwa TPS pou Ayiti ap fini kounye a? 

Dapre direktiv Sèvis Sitwayènte ak Imigrasyon Etazini (USCIS) te pibliye nan dat 1ye jiyè 2026 la, moun k ap benefisye TPS pou Ayiti ap kenbe estati yo, epi dokiman yo ap rete valab jiskaske tribinal enferyè yo aliman desizyon yo ak sa Lakou Siprèm Etazini an te pran an; sa ka pran anviwon 32 jou apati dat desizyon an. Nou rekòmande pou w tcheke paj wèb USCIS la pou w ka wè kominike laprès sou mizajou yo. 

K3. Èske y ap depòte m otomatikman lè TPS la fini? 

Non. Yo pap depòte w otomatikman nan dènye jou TPS la. Si ou pa gen okenn lòt estati imigrasyon legal, an jeneral, w ap retounen nan estati ou te genyen anvan TPS la. Si ou pa t gen okenn estati legal anvan ou te resevwa TPS, ou ka vin sijè a yon pwosedi depòtasyon dapre lwa imigrasyon yo. Sepandan, nan pifò ka yo, lefètke TPS la fini, sa pa vle di otomatikman ke y ap depòte w imedyatman. Nòmalman, DHS dwe deside si l ap mete w nan yon pwosedi depòtasyon. Si yo mete w nan yon pwosedi konsa, an jeneral, ou ka parèt devan yon jij imigrasyon, sof si ou sijè a yon pwosesis depòtasyon rapid oswa yon lòt eksepsyon. Pandan pwosedi sa yo, ou ka gen posiblite pou w mande lòt fòm pwoteksyon oswa asistans, si ou kalifye pou sa. 

Sepandan, si te gen yon lòd depòtasyon ki te deja pran kont ou, ou ta dwe chèche konsèy nan men yon avoka pi vit posib, paske ou ka sijè a mezi aplikasyon lwa imedyat, tankou arestasyon, detansyon, ak depòtasyon. 

Pou jwenn asistans legal konsènan mezi aplikasyon lwa anvan detansyon, rele liy dirèk RAISE nan nimewo 1-888-600-5762 oswa vizite sitwèb raise.is. 

Si ou menm oswa yon moun ou konnen nan detansyon imigrasyon, tanpri rele liy dirèk Pwogram Detansyon nou an nan nimewo 786-454-8554, soti lendi pou rive jedi, ant 9:00 nan maten ak 11:30 nan maten (lè ET), epi ant 1:30 nan apremidi ak 4:00 nan apremidi (lè ET).

K4. Èske DHS oswa ICE ka vin chèche m pandan TPS la toujou aktif?

Pandan TPS la valab, an jeneral ou pwoteje kont depòtasyon ki baze sèlman sou lefèt ke ou pa t gen estati legal anvan sa. Sepandan, pwoblèm kriminèl oswa pwoblèm sekirite apa ka toujou mennen nan aksyon otorite yo kont ou; epi yon fwa TPS la fini, ou ka fè fas ak depòtasyon si ou pa gen okenn lòt pwoteksyon.

K5. Ki opsyon Ayisyen ki gen TPS genyen kounye a?

Ou ta dwe fè yon evalyasyon legal pèsonèl pou wè si ou kalifye pou yon lòt bagay, tankou rezidans atravè lyen familyal, opsyon ki baze sou travay, viza imanitè, oswa azil/sispansyon depòtasyon (withholding of removal). Kalifikasyon depann de sitiyasyon espesifik ou, pa sèlman sou TPS la.

Tanpri note ke ekip legal òganizasyon *Americans for Immigrant Justice* (AI Justice) prezan nan klinik preparasyon pou fanmi ak/oswa sesyon konsiltasyon legal FLIC yo. Ou ka jwenn orè a isit la. 

K6. Si mwen gen timoun oswa fanmi ki sitwayen ameriken, èske sa ede?

Sa posib. Pafwa, mari oswa madanm, pitit ki granmoun, oswa sèten lòt fanmi ki sitwayen ameriken ka fè yon demann ofisyèl (petisyon) pou ou, men pa gen anyen ki fèt otomatikman. Ou bezwen yon demann ki fèt kòrèkteman, epi ou dwe satisfè tout egzijans legal yo. 

K7. Èske mwen ka fè yon demann azil kounye a paske Ayiti pa an sekirite?

Azil se yon pwoteksyon apa ki mande prèv pèsekisyon dapre kritè legal espesifik. Gen kèk Ayisyen ki gen TPS ki ka kalifye, men fè yon demann azil san konsèy legal ka riske, sitou si ou viv Ozetazini depi lontan.

K8. Èske m ta dwe vwayaje deyò Etazini kounye a?

Vwayaje se yon risk. San yon libète kondisyonèl davans apwopriye, kite peyi a ka lakòz entèdiksyon pou retounen epi konplike ka nan lavni. Apre TPS fini, pèmisyon vwayaj ki baze sou TPS p ap pwoteje w kont refi pou w rantre.

K9. Kisa k ap pase ak moun ki gen kat vèt oswa lòt aplikasyon annatant?

Si ou te depoze yon aplikasyon valab (pou yon kat vèt, yon viza U, VAWA, elatriye), pwosesis aplikasyon an ka kontinye apre TPS fini. Men, ou ka pèdi benefis travay oswa vwayaj ki baze sou TPS, kidonk mande avoka w sou lòt pèmi travay oswa dokiman vwayaj.

K10. E si mwen deja gen yon lòt estati (pa egzanp, viza etidyan oswa viza travay tanporè)?

Estati apa ou a pa fini sèlman paske TPS fini. Ou pral pèdi pwoteksyon ki baze sou TPS ak Dokiman Otorizasyon Travay oswa "EAD", men ou dwe swiv tout règ lòt viza oswa estati ou a.

K11. Èske mwen ka rete Ozetazini atravè yon kat vèt ki baze sou travay, tankou yon viza EB-3 ak parennaj lopital?

Petèt, sa depann de sitiyasyon imigrasyon ou ye kounye a epi si ou kalifye pou ajiste sitiyasyon an. Yon kat vèt ki baze sou travay mande yon òf travay pèmanan, a plen tan, nan men yon anplwayè ameriken ki vle parennen ou epi ou satisfè kondisyon pou pozisyon an. Gen kèk lopital ki parennen pwofesyonèl swen sante kalifye, tankou enfimyè anrejistre, atravè pwosesis EB-3 la, menm anba règ espesyal ki aplike pou okipasyon ki manke. Si ou ka rete Ozetazini epi aplike pou yon kat vèt nan peyi a depann de faktè tankou fason ou te antre Ozetazini ak sitiyasyon imigrasyon ou ye kounye a. Ou ta dwe konsilte yon avoka imigrasyon kalifye oswa yon reprezantan akredite pou diskite sou opsyon ou yo.

K12. Kisa m ka fè si pa gen okenn opsyon legal pou mwen rete Ozetazini apre mwen fin pèdi TPS? 

Si ou pa gen yon lòt baz legal pou rete Ozetazini apre TPS la fini, ou ta dwe pale ak yon avoka imigrasyon oswa yon reprezantan ki akredite pa DOJ pi vit posib pou detèmine si ou kalifye pou yon lòt fòm soulajman imigrasyon. Si pa gen okenn opsyon legal ki disponib, ou ka vle diskite sou depa volontè oswa lòt pwosesis ki disponib ak avoka ou.

DHS anonse asistans finansye pou sèten moun ki kite peyi a volontèman atravè aplikasyon CBP Home la, dapre egzijans pwogram nan. 

K13. E si mwen rete apre TPS fini san okenn lòt estati?

Yo pral konsidere ou san papye epi yo ka retire ou nan peyi a. Sa ka mennen nan arestasyon, detansyon, deportasyon, ak entèdiksyon legal ki rann opsyon imigrasyon nan lavni pi difisil. 

K14. Èske Etazini ka depòte mwen nan yon lòt peyi?

Anjeneral, gouvènman an premye chèche retire yon moun an Ayiti, peyi nasyonalite li. Si sa pa posib, lwa imigrasyon Etazini bay yon sekans peyi altènatif ke yo ka konsidere, tankou yon peyi kote moun nan se yon sitwayen tou oswa yon peyi ki dakò pou aksepte yo. Nan sikonstans limite, DHS ka retire yon moun nan yon lòt peyi otorize anba lwa imigrasyon yo.

K15. Kijan mwen ka prepare kounye a?

Rasanble papye imigrasyon ou yo, paspò ou, sètifika nesans ou, kat idantite ou, kat sekirite sosyal ou, ak prèv tan ou te pase Ozetazini. Epitou, ranmase dosye pwopriyete ou, enfòmasyon kont labank ou, kontra asirans ou ak dosye medikal ou. Pran yon randevou ak yon avoka imigrasyon kalifye oswa yon reprezantan akredite DOJ epi pale ak fanmi ou sou plan ijans ak pouvwa avoka.

Konsidere fè yon plan pou:

• Kay ou oswa pwopriyete lokasyon ou;
• Machin ou;
• Kont labank;
• Kont retrèt oswa pansyon;
• Polis asirans lavi;
• Envestisman;
• Fakti ak peman rekiran.

Reflechi sou ki moun ki ta jere responsablite sa yo si yo ta arete w sanzatann.

K16. Ki sa ki yon Otorizasyon Kongrè a pou Divilgasyon Enfòmasyon Prive (Congressional Privacy Release), epi poukisa mwen ta dwe siyen youn?

Yon Otorizasyon Kongrè a pou Divilgasyon Enfòmasyon Prive se yon fòm konsantman ki pèmèt yon manm Kongrè a ak ekip li a jwenn aksè legal nan enfòmasyon pèsonèl ou epi kominike avèk ajans federal yo konsènan dosye w la.

Ou ta dwe konsidere ranpli yon fòm Otorizasyon Kongrè a pou Divilgasyon Enfòmasyon Prive epi kite l nan men yon manm fanmi oswa yon zanmi ou fè konfyans. Si yo ta arete w, moun sa a ka pote fòm ou siyen an bay Senatè oswa Reprezantan Etazini w la; konsa, yo ka kominike avèk ajans federal yo nan non ou epi mande enfòmasyon sou dosye w la, swen medikal, kondisyon detansyon, ak lòt pwoblèm ijan. San yon otorizasyon alekri ou siyen, biwo kongresyonèl yo pa ka jwenn enfòmasyon sou dosye yon moun nan men yon ajans federal. Fòm sa a valab pou 90 jou; kidonk, ou ta dwe renouvle l anvan li ekspire si w toujou bezwen l.

K17. Kisa k ap rive pitit mwen yo ki fèt Ozetazini si mwen pèdi estati TPS la?

Timoun ki fèt Ozetazini se sitwayen ameriken. Yo pa pèdi estati sitwayènte yo si youn nan paran yo pèdi TPS, epi yo ka rete Ozetazini. 

K18. Kijan mwen ka prepare pitit mwen yo ki fèt Ozetazini si yo depòte mwen?

Konsidere fè yon plan familyal, ki ka gen ladan l:

• Chwazi yon moun ou fè konfyans pou pran swen yo epi ekri enfòmasyon kontak pou ka ijans
• Pale ak pitit ou a (yon fason ki apwopriye pou laj li) sou kiyès pou l rele si ou pa lakay
• Fè plan pou ki moun k ap al chèche yo lekòl, pou swen medikal, ak pou gadri
• Eksplore opsyon legal ak finansye tankou kreye yon fon fidisyè (trust), bay yon moun pouvwa legal (power of attorney), oswa bay yon moun ou fè konfyans dwa pou l pran swen timoun ou yo (gad legal)

Fanmi ki bezwen asistans nan zafè imigrasyon ka kontakte Pwogram Defans Fanmi (Family Defense Program) AI Justice la nan nimewo 305-573-1106, ekstansyon 8008, nan jou madi ak jedi ant 9:00 am ak 11:00 am (lè ET), oswa voye yon imèl nan familydefense@aijustice.org.

K19. Kisa k ap rive pitit mwen an ki se sitwayen ameriken epi k ap etidye nan inivèsite?

An jeneral, pitit ou a ka kontinye etidye nan inivèsite. Kanta pou èd finansye, etidyan ki sitwayen ameriken ka fè demann menm si youn nan paran yo pa gen papye legal oswa pa gen nimewo Sekirite Sosyal.

K20. Kisa k ap rive pèmi travay mwen an (Dokiman Otorizasyon Travay oswa "EAD")?

Apati 10 jiyè 2026, dat ekspirasyon EAD ou a se 24 jiyè 2026.

K21. Kisa k ap rive kont labank mwen oswa kont retrèt mwen?

Kont labank ou, kont epay ou, ak kont retrèt ou pap fèmen otomatikman si estati imigrasyon ou chanje oswa si ou kite Etazini. Sepandan, règ konsènan taks, retrè lajan, ak aksè nan kont lan lè ou aletranje ka chanje. Li enpòtan pou ou kontakte bank ou oswa administratè plan retrèt ou pou mete enfòmasyon kontak ou yo ajou epi pou asire ou konprann nenpòt règ sou taks oswa aksè ki ka aplike.

K22. Èske asirans sante mwen ap rete aktif?

Si ou gen asirans sante atravè travay ou, an jeneral, pwoteksyon an ap kontinye toutotan ou rete anplwaye epi patwon ou kontinye ofri ou pwoteksyon an.

Sepandan, si ou pèdi otorizasyon pou travay epi travay ou fini, asirans sante ou te genyen atravè patwon ou an ap gen anpil chans fini tou.

Kalifikasyon pou Medicaid ak lòt pwogram asirans sante piblik ki sanble avè l depann de revni, konpozisyon fwaye a, ak estati imigrasyon. Si TPS la fini, kalifikasyon ou pou sèten pwogram pwoteksyon sante piblik ka chanje selon estati imigrasyon ou ak lwa eta a. Sepandan, gen kèk moun ki ka toujou kalifye pou:

• Medicaid pou ijans;
• Pwogram aksè sante nan eta a oswa nan lokalite a; oswa
• Pwoteksyon pou manm fanmi ki kalifye (sa gen ladan l timoun ki sitwayen ameriken)

K23. Èske moun nan kay mwen an ka jwenn aksè nan SNAP ak lòt benefis?

Moun ki gen TPS soti Ayiti pa kalifye pou *Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program* (SNAP) oswa pifò lòt benefis piblik federal. Sepandan, desizyon sa a pa afekte benefis lòt moun nan kay ou a ki kalifye:

• Yo pa dwe sispann bay benefis pou manm yon kay ki gen estati melanje (kote gen moun ki gen estati legal ak moun ki pa genyen l) jis paske yon paran pèdi TPS oswa vin san papye.
• Kay ki gen estati melanje ka kontinye resevwa SNAP ak lòt benefis si yo chak kalifye endividyèlman.
• Ou ka toujou oblije rapòte chanjman nan revni oswa enfòmasyon sou kay la, men lefètke ou pèdi TPS pa dwe lakòz timoun oswa manm kay ki kalifye yo pèdi benefis yo.

K24. Si m posede yon kay oswa yon machin, kisa k ap rive pwopriyete m nan si m kite peyi a?

Si w kite Etazini, ou pa pèdi dwa pwopriyetè kay ou oswa machin ou otomatikman jis paske TPS ou fini oswa paske w kite peyi a. An jeneral, dwa pwopriyetè byen imobilye oswa mobil pa gen rapò ak estati imigrasyon. Ou ka kontinye posede byen imobilye Ozetazini menm si w ap viv aletranje. Ou rete responsab pou peye prè kay la (si w gen youn), taks sou pwopriyete, asirans kay, ak depans antretyen. Si w sispann peye prè kay la oswa taks sou pwopriyete, enstitisyon ki te prete w la ka sezi kay la, oswa otorite lokal yo ka pran mezi legal pou taks ki pa peye yo.

Ou ka kontinye posede machin ou, men si w kite l Ozetazini, w ap bezwen kontinye peye prè machin nan, asirans (si sa obligatwa), epi respekte egzijans anrejistreman eta a. Si w pa bezwen machin nan ankò, ou ka chwazi vann li anvan w ale.

Ou ka vann kay ou oswa machin ou anvan oswa apre w fin kite Etazini. Si w vann yo apre w fin ale, ou ka bezwen siyen dokiman a distans oswa bay yon moun ou fè konfyans otorite pou aji nan non ou avèk yon dokiman legal yo rele "power of attorney" (oswa manda).

Anpil moun ki prevwa kite Etazini konsidere tou:

• bay yon moun yo fè konfyans responsablite pou jere zafè yo avèk yon manda legal (*power of attorney*),
• mete testaman yo oswa plan siksesyon yo ajou,
• fè aranjman pou yon moun ranmase lèt yo epi peye bòdwo yo,
• konsilte yon espesyalis nan zafè taks konsènan obligasyon taks Ozetazini apre yo fin ale.

K25. Si m vle retounen an Ayiti, èske m ka retounen?

Si w deside retounen, kapasite w pou w retounen depann de istwa imigrasyon w ak si w gen pèmisyon pou w rantre ankò. Nan kèk sitiyasyon, kite Etazini ka lakòz penalite imigrasyon ki anpeche w retounen pandan plizyè ane oswa plis. Ou ta dwe pale ak yon founisè sèvis legal ou fè konfyans anvan w vwayaje oswa demenaje.

K26. Kijan pou m evite frod ak move konsèy?

Pa fè "notarios" oswa nenpòt moun ki pwomèt kat vèt garanti oswa pwoteksyon pou yon frè konfyans. Se sèlman avoka ki gen lisans ak reprezantan ki rekonèt e ki akredite pa DOJ ki ka bay konsèy legal sou imigrasyon.

K27. Ki kote moun ki gen TPS nan peyi Ayiti ka jwenn enfòmasyon ak èd serye?
