US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published new updates on its Form I\u20119 Central website regarding the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for Burma (Myanmar), Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Syria, including reminders of court\u2011ordered extensions of Employment Authorization Document (EAD) validity for impacted beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

These updates follow active federal litigation that has paused or delayed the effectiveness of DHS termination decisions for multiple TPS populations. The USCIS pages also include updated Form I\u20119 and E\u2011Verify instructions for employers.<\/p>\n

Below is a summary of the latest USCIS guidance:<\/p>\n

Burma (Myanmar):<\/a> \u201cThe validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued under the TPS designation of Burma with an original expiration date of Nov. 25, 2025, May 25, 2024, or Nov. 25, 2022 is extended per court order Aung DOE et al. v. Noem et al., No. 25\u2011cv\u201115483 (N.D. Ill.).\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethiopia:<\/a> \u201cThe validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued under the TPS designation of Ethiopia with an original expiration date of June 12, 2024 and Dec. 12, 2025 is extended per court order<\/a> African Communities Together et al. v. Noem et al., No. 26\u2011cv\u201110278\u2011BEM (D. Mass.).\u201d<\/p>\n

South Sudan:<\/a> \u201cThe validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued under the TPS designation of South Sudan with an original expiration date of Nov. 3, 2023, May 3, 2025, and Nov. 3, 2025 is extended per court order African Communities Together et al. v. Noem et al., No. 25\u2011cv\u201113939\u2011PBS (D. Mass.).\u201d<\/p>\n

Syria:<\/a> \u201cThe validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued under the TPS designation of Syria with an original expiration date of Sept. 30, 2025, March 31, 2024, Sept. 30, 2022, or March 31, 2021 is extended per court order Dahlia Doe v. Noem, 25\u2011cv\u20118686 (S.D.N.Y.).\u201d<\/p>\n

Form I\u20119 and E\u2011Verify Instructions<\/p>\n

On each TPS country page, USCIS provides updated employer guidance, including:<\/p>\n

How to enter the new EAD validity date
\nWhen to annotate Section 2 with \u201cas per court order\u201d
\nWhich extended dates to use when creating an E\u2011Verify case<\/p>\n

Employers should reference these instructions carefully to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n

Additional Notes<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, the main USCIS TPS country pages for Burma, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Syria had not yet been updated, and USCIS advises checking those pages periodically for the most current information.
\nLitigation affecting these TPS designations is ongoing, and the duration of the extensions remains subject to court decisions.<\/p>\n
