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 has automatically extended the validity of employment authorization documents (EADs) issued under the last extension of TPS Honduras for an additional 180 days, through Jan. 1, 2019.

If you are a TPS beneficiary under Honduras’ designation and your EAD is based on your TPS status with an original expiration date of July 5, 2018, your EAD is covered by this automatic extension and you may continue to work through Jan 1, 2019, using your current EAD. Additionally, individuals who have EADs with an expiration date of Jan. 5, 2018, and who applied for a new EAD during the last re-registration period but have not yet received their new EADs are also covered by this automatic extension.

To prove you are eligible to continue working legally through Jan. 1, 2019, you may show the following documentation to your employer and government agencies:

• Your TPS-related EAD with a July 5, 2018 or Jan. 5, 2018 expiration date; and
• A copy of the Federal Register notice announcing the automatic extension OR your EAD application receipt (Form I-797C, Notice of Action) confirming we received the application on or after Dec. 15, 2017.

Your employer may rely on the Federal Register notice as evidence of the continuing validity of your EAD. For more information on providing evidence of employment eligibility, see guidance in the Federal Register notice and I-9 Central.

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.

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.
