On June 20, 2024, USCIS extended the validity of certain work permits issued to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries under the TPS designations for El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan. All impacted beneficiaries will receive Form I-797, Notice of Action, notifying them of the extension of their Employment Authorization Documents (EADs or "work permits") through March 9, 2025.

TPS is a temporary U.S. immigration status that has been used as a humanitarian solution for nationals of certain countries who are present in the United States and are unable to return to their home countries safely due to specific country conditions. TPS status entitles the recipient to a work permit, protection from deportation, and authorization to travel, but requires periodic renewals.
