If you currently have TPS for Honduras and would like to keep your TPS, you must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period that runs from June 5, 2018, through Aug. 6, 2018. We encourage you to re-register as soon as possible during this 60-day period.

If you have a Form I-821 and/or Form I-765 that was still pending as of June 5, 2018, then you do not need to file the pending application(s) again. If your pending TPS application is approved, you will be granted TPS through Jan. 5, 2020. Similarly, if you have a pending TPS-related application for an EAD that is approved, it will be valid through the same date.

USCIS is automatically extending the validity of certain EADs issued under the TPS Honduras designation through June 30, 2019.

If you are a TPS beneficiary or if you have a pending initial TPS application under the Honduras designation and your EAD is based on your TPS or pending application, your EAD may now be valid through June 30, 2019, if:

• Your EAD includes a category code of A12 or C19;
• You applied for registration and a new EAD under the TPS Honduras designation;
• You have not received your new EAD; and
• Your EAD has a marked expiration date of July 5, 2016, July 5, 2018, or Jan. 5, 2018.

USCIS will mail a Notice of Continued Evidence of Work Authorization to individuals who are eligible for the automatic EAD extension. The Notice will provide evidence of the automatic extension of your EAD through June 30, 2019, which you can show to your employer. Individuals who receive the Notice may use it in combination with their current EAD as evidence of work authorization through June 30, 2019.  If you have a pending EAD application and believe you are eligible for the additional automatic extension but do not receive the Notice of Continued Evidence of Work Authorization by Dec. 18, 2018, please contact the USCIS Contact Center. Until you receive your Notice of Continued Evidence of Work Authorization, you may show your employer this webpage in combination with your current EAD through June 30, 2019, to demonstrate your continued employment authorization. Agencies that need to verify your immigration status may also accept the Notice of Continued Work Authorization.

If we approve your TPS re-registration application, and you paid the fee for a new EAD (or if we approved your fee waiver request), we will issue you an EAD with the expiration date of Jan. 5, 2020.

If you are filing for a replacement EAD for already granted TPS or for re-registration of TPS, please follow instructions below. Online filing is not currently available for TPS for Honduras. You must send your package by mail or courier to the appropriate address in the table below:

Note on Seeking Asylum: Being granted and maintaining TPS status until a reasonable period before the filing of the asylum application is considered an extraordinary circumstance for the purposes of the one year filing deadline. In other words, having TPS status “stops the clock” on the requirement to file for asylum within one year of arriving in the United States, if the one-year clock has not already expired. See 8 CFR 208.4(a)(5)(iv).

Please be aware that some unauthorized practitioners may try to take advantage of you by claiming they can file TPS forms. These same individuals may ask that you pay them to file such forms. We want to ensure that all potential TPS applicants know how to obtain legitimate, accurate legal advice and assistance. A list of accredited representatives and free or low-cost legal providers is available on the USCIS website on the finding legal advice web page.

We don’t want you to become a victim of an immigration scam. If you need legal advice on immigration matters, make sure the person helping you is authorized to give legal advice. Only an attorney or an accredited representative working for a Department of Justice (DOJ) recognized organization can give you legal advice. Visit the Avoid Scams page for information and resources.
