TPS for Burma (Myanmar) Extended and Redesignated for 18 Months; Certain EADs Automatically Extended Through May 25, 2025
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas extended and redesignated Burma for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from May 26, 2024, through Nov. 25, 2025. Nationals of Burma and individuals with no nationality who last habitually resided in Burma may submit an initial registration application under the redesignation of Burma for TPS and apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Current beneficiaries who want to maintain their status must re-register and may apply for a new EAD.
Given the time frames for processing TPS re-registration and EAD renewal applications, USCIS has automatically extended through May 25, 2025, the validity of certain EADs issued under the TPS designation for Burma.
