Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for South Sudan
has been extended again until May 2, 2022. The
instructions for beneficiaries have been
published in the Federal Register. Through January 4, 2021, TPS
beneficiaries who have not already done so should re-register and
apply to renew their Employment Authorization Documents (EADs).
Those with EADs that expired on November 2, 2020 are entitled to a
180-day automatic extension of work authorization until May 1,
2021. Once the extension requests are adjudicated, those who are
eligible will have their EADs extended until May 2, 2022.
In the meantime, despite the Trump Administration's attempt
to terminate TPS for beneficiaries from El Salvador, Haiti,
Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua and Sudan, they have all had their
statuses extended until October 4, 2021 in light of
ongoing litigation.
