Important Update: Extension of Employment Authorization Documents for TPS Beneficiaries

Recently, the validity of certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan has been extended until March 9, 2025. Affected individuals will receive a Form I-797, Notice of Action, confirming this extension.

If you are a TPS beneficiary from one of these countries and have not yet re-registered for TPS under the latest extension, it is crucial that you 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 extended the re-registration periods for the following countries:

• El Salvador: Until March 9, 2025
• Honduras: Until July 5, 2025
• Nepal: Until June 24, 2025
• Nicaragua: Until July 5, 2025
• Sudan: Until April 19, 2025

While the re-registration deadlines vary by country, it is important to note that all EADs are extended uniformly until March 9, 2025. For detailed instructions on how to re-register for TPS and renew your EAD, please refer to the most recent Federal Register notice pertaining to your country’s TPS extension or redesignation.
