USCIS has extended the validity of certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan to March 9, 2025. Eligible TPS beneficiaries will receive a Form I-797, Notice of Action, confirming this extension.
“If you are an existing TPS beneficiary under one of these designations, and you have not yet re-registered for TPS under the most recent extension for that designation, you must submit Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, during the current re-registration period to keep your TPS benefits. If you do not re-register properly within the re-registration period, USCIS may withdraw your TPS and related benefits,” said USCIS.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had extended the re-registration periods for El Salvador through March 9, 2025; Honduras through July 5, 2025; Nepal through June 24, 2025; Nicaragua through July 5, 2025; and Sudan through April 19, 2025. Although the re-registration periods vary, all EADs are extended until March 9, 2025.
