Automatic Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension

We are automatically extending through Sept. 8, 2025, the validity of EADs with a category of “A-12” or “C-19” and the expiration dates shown below that we issued under the TPS designation of Honduras to beneficiaries who continue to maintain TPS eligibility:

EAD expiration dateNow valid until
Jan. 5, 2018 Sept. 8, 2025
July. 5, 2018Sept. 8, 2025

TPS Honduras beneficiaries who applied for a new EAD but have not yet received it are also covered by this automatic extension, if the EAD that you have contains 1 of the expiration dates noted in the chart above. You may show your EAD with category A12 or C19 and 1 of the EAD expiration dates above, along with the NOTICE OF CONTINUED EVIDENCE OF WORK AUTHORIZATION, as proof of continued employment authorization through Sept. 8, 2025, to U.S. employers and benefit and license granting agencies. 

If your notice has a mistake that you believe was due to USCIS error, or if you have not received a notice but you believe you are affected by this extension, please visit uscis.gov/e-request.

For more information on TPS eligibility requirements, what to file, and step-by-step instructions on submitting an initial TPS application package, go to the TPS page. You can find the filing fees for TPS-related forms on our Fee Schedule page. 

Other Immigration Options

You might be eligible for other immigration options listed on the Explore My Options page.

To apply for a lawful permanent status (Green Card), you must be eligible under one of the categories listed on the Green Card Eligibility Categories page. Once you find the category that may fit your situation, click on the link provided to get information on eligibility requirements, how to apply, and whether your family members can also apply with you.

Note on Seeking Asylum: Being granted and maintaining TPS 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 “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).

Avoid Scams

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 do not 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.
