USCIS has extended the validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) issued to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients 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 currently a TPS recipient under one of these designations and have not yet re-registered for TPS under the most recent extension of that designation, must present Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, during the current re-registration period to maintain your TPS benefits. DHS had previously extended re-registration periods for people to file TPS applications:

• El Salvador now runs until March 9, 2025;
• Honduras now runs until July 5, 2025;
• Nepal now runs until June 24, 2025;
• Nicaragua now runs until July 5, 2025; and
• Sudan now runs until April 19, 2025.

Please note that although the re-registration periods end on different dates, EADs have been extended through the same date: March 9, 2025. Instructions for re-registering for TPS and renewing your EAD can be found in the notice of the Federal Register that extends TPS for your country (or extends and redesignates your country for TPS).
