Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen has been extended and redesignated for 18 months from Sept. 4, 2024 until Mar. 3, 2026. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced that the extension and re-designation have been granted due to the continuing conflict in Yemen. Yemen is now in the tenth year of a protracted conflict that has led to food insecurity, limited access to water and medical care and large-scale destruction of Yemen's infrastructure.

Yemeni nationals who already have TPS must re-register and apply to extend their employment authorization during the 60-day re-registration period that runs from Jul. 10, 2024 until Sept. 9, 2024. DHS recognizes that even those who timely apply may, due to processing times, have gaps in employment authorization. Accordingly, employment authorization documents (EADs) will be automatically extended until through Sept. 3, 2025 for those with TPS EADs that expire either on Sept. 3, 2024
