Automatic Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension

USCIS has automatically extended through  Sept. 2, 2025, the validity of EADs issued under the TPS designation for Haiti with an original expiration date of:

  • Feb. 3, 2026;1
  • Aug. 3, 2025;
  • Aug. 3, 2024;
  • June 30, 2024;
  • Feb. 3, 2023;
  • Dec. 31, 2022;
  • Oct. 4, 2021;
  • Jan. 4, 2021;
  • Jan. 2, 2020;
  • July 22, 2019;
  • Jan. 22, 2018; or
  • July 22, 2017.

If your EAD is covered by this automatic extension, you may continue to use your existing EAD through Sept. 2, 2025, as evidence that you are authorized to work.

Please note this is the final time USCIS will automatically extend Haiti TPS-based EADs with the notation A-12 or C-19 under Category and a Card Expires date of Feb 3, 2026; Aug 3, 2025; Aug 3, 2024; June 30, 2024; Feb 3, 2023;  Dec. 31, 2022; Oct. 4, 2021; Jan. 4, 2021; Jan. 2, 2020; July 22, 2019; Jan. 22, 2018; or July 22, 2017.

To prove that you are authorized to continue working legally, you may show your employer your TPS-related EAD with an expiration date of:

  • Feb. 3, 2026;
  • Aug. 3, 2025;
  • Aug. 3, 2024;
  • June 30, 2024;
  • Feb. 3, 2023;
  • Dec. 31, 2022;
  • Oct. 4, 2021;
  • Jan. 4, 2021;
  • Jan. 2, 2020;
  • July 22, 2019;
  • Jan. 22, 2018; or
  • July 22, 2017.

You may also show them a copy of the Federal Register notice announcing the automatic extension. Government agencies may also accept these documents if they need to determine your immigration status.

Your employer may rely on the Federal Register notice as evidence of the continuing validity of your EAD. Visit the USCIS webpage Documentation Employers May Accept and Temporary Protected Status Beneficiaries May Present as Evidence of Employment Eligibility for more information.


1 The validity of EADs with a Card Expires date of Feb. 3, 2026, was changed to Aug. 3, 2025, by 90 FR 10511 and is now being extended through Sept. 2, 2025.

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 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).

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 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.
