For purposes of section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1254a ), Haiti shall be treated as if it had been designated under subsection
(b)of such section, subject to the provisions of this section. The initial period of such designation shall begin on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall remain in effect for 18 months. In applying section 244 of such Act pursuant to the designation made under this section, subject to section 244(c)(3) of such Act, an alien who is a national of Haiti shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of section 244(c)(1) of such Act only if the alien— has been continuously physically present in the United States since November 4, 2016; is admissible as an immigrant, except as otherwise provided under section 244(c)(2)(A) of such Act, and is not ineligible for temporary protected status under section 244(c)(2)(B) of such Act; and registers for temporary protected status in a manner that the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall give the prior consent to travel abroad described in section 244(f)(3) of such Act to an alien who is granted temporary protected status pursuant to the designation made under this section, if the alien establishes to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Homeland Security that emergency and extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the alien require the alien to depart for a brief, temporary trip abroad. An alien returning to the United States in accordance with such an authorization shall be treated the same as any other returning alien provided temporary protected status under section 244 of such Act.
