Washington, D.C – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Cameroonians until August 3, 2025. Originally scheduled to end on Saturday, June 7, the extension grants beneficiaries an additional 60 days of protection.
The decision the Department stated on its website follows a review of current conditions in Cameroon and consultations with interagency partners. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem concluded that the country no longer meets the legal criteria to warrant continued Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation.
TPS holders from Cameroon now have until August to prepare for the program’s termination. The DHS has advised those affected to consider voluntary departure and use the CBP One mobile app for official reporting and assistance.
This move marks the end of TPS protection for Cameroonians after DHS determined that the circumstances that initially justified the designation have sufficiently changed.
