USCIS has announced the extension of the validity of Work Permits for TPS beneficiaries until March 9, 2025. Those who need to re-register for TPS must submit Form I-821 during the current re-registration period to maintain their benefits.
In a recent announcement, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has communicated the extension of the validity of certain Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) issued to beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under the designations of El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan until March 9, 2025. USCIS will send a Form I-797, Notice of Action, notifying those affected by this extension.
If you are a current TPS beneficiary under one of these designations and 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 maintain your TPS benefits. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has previously extended the re-registration periods for individuals to submit TPS applications as follows:
El Salvador: The re-registration period is now extended until March 9, 2025.
Honduras: The re-registration period is now extended until July 5, 2025.
Nepal: The re-registration period is now extended until June 24, 2025.
Nicaragua: The re-registration period is now extended until July 5, 2025.
Sudan: The re-registration period is now extended until April 19, 2025.
It is important to note that while the re-registration periods end on different dates, all EADs are extended until the same date: March 9, 2025. For instructions on how to re-register for TPS and renew your EAD, refer to the most recent Federal Register notice that extends TPS for your country (or extends and redesignates your country for TPS).
For more information and specific details on how to complete this process, it is recommended to visit the official USCIS website or contact an immigration attorney who can guide you through these steps. Staying informed and acting within the established deadlines is crucial to ensure that TPS beneficiaries continue receiving their benefits and protections.
