On November 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the automatic extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) validity for the following countries:
At this time, TPS beneficiaries do not need to take any action to re-register or to renew their Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). Rather, such individuals may show their current EAD and a copy of the Federal Register Notice (below) to employers to demonstrate they have valid employment authorization and to explain that their TPS-Related Documentation has been auto-extended through January 4, 2021.
In addition, as the future of TPS benefits remains unknown, if you have not already done so, please contact your attorney (if you are a current client) or contact our office to schedule a consultation (if you are not a current client) as soon as possible so that we can review your case and your immigration options beyond TPS.
