Liberians Have Until December 20 to Apply for a Green Card Under the LRIF Program
Thousands of Liberians living lawfully in the United States run the risk of detention and deportation if they do not apply for the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness program (LRIF) by the December 20 filing deadline.
The LRIF program offers an estimated 10,300 Liberians who have lived in the United States since November 20, 2014 the opportunity to apply for permanent residency.
Most eligible Liberians have held Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) temporary protections given to nationals of certain countries that face ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions that make returning to the country unsafe. Both forms of relief protect against deportation and provide a work permit.
