No new approvals today?

[Samansa]

Usually Thursday is high volume approval day if BCIS works normally. However, I haven't noticed any new approvals from here and rupnet. Do they stop again?

No, not today, nothing happens, not even RFE or transfer. Slow down began since yesterday.

I was expected to see a lot of approvals this week.

SUMMARY: The designation of Liberia under the Temporary Protected
Status (TPS) Program will expire on October 1, 2003. This notice
extends the Secretary of Homeland Security's designation of Liberia for
12 months until October 1, 2004, and sets forth procedures necessary
for nationals of Liberia (or aliens having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Liberia) with TPS to re-register and to apply for
an extension of their employment authorization documentation for the
additional 12-month period. Re-registration is limited to persons who
registered under the initial designation (for which the registration
period ended on April 1, 2003). Certain nationals of Liberia (or aliens
having no nationality who last habitually resided in Liberia) who
previously have not applied for TPS may be eligible to apply under the
late initial registration provisions.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The extension of Liberia's TPS designation is
effective October 1, 2003, and will remain in effect until October 1,
2004. The 60-day re-registration period begins August 6, 2003 and will
remain in effect until October 6, 2003.
