Automatic Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension
USCIS has automatically extended the validity of employment authorization documents issued under the original designation of TPS Haiti for an additional 6 months, through January 22, 2012. If you have a TPS Haiti EAD with the original expiration date of July 22, 2011, you are covered by this automatic extension and may continue to work.
To continue to work, you may show the following documentation to your employer and government agencies:
Your employer may rely on the Federal Register notice as evidence of the continuing validity of your EAD. Go to the ‘Documentation Employers May Accept and Temporary Protected Status Beneficiaries May Present as Evidence of Employment Eligibility' Factsheet for more information.
If USCIS approves your TPS re-registration application and you requested an EAD, you will be issued a new EAD bearing the expiration date of January 22, 2013.
For more information on TPS eligibility requirements, what to file, and step by step instructions go to the TPS Web page.
