Hi Unicorn,

On January 2010, Haiti was first designated the TPS and after 18 months, DHS re-designated the TPS.

Casualties in Haiti was far more than the case of Nepal, is DHS still going to renew the TPS? I think you are trying to ask this question. In my understanding, there is not exact direct relationship between TPS extension and the number of casualties, and I believe that DHS also does not use such statistical model to make extension decision based on those variables. They just see the qualitative information.

Consider the case of Elsalvador, there was earthquake in this country in 2001 and the total casualties was 900. Still DHS is keep extending the TPS more than 11 times. So, casualties is not the primary factors.

In one forum, I read that DHS extends at least some number of times and they review the condition and make decision. There is not such evidence that DHS designates and then terminates in the first expiration date. That's why they will extend it.
