On Feb. 20, 2025, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem partially vacated the July 1, 2024, notice that extended and redesignated Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This new notice amends the period of extension and redesignation of Haiti for TPS from 18 months to 12 months and provides an amended end date of Aug. 3, 2025. EADs with a Category Code of A12 or C19 and a Card Expires date of Feb. 3, 2026, now expire on Aug. 3, 2025.
Creating an E-Verify Case
After a new employee has completed Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, create a case in E-Verify for this employee. Enter the EAD document number you entered on Form I-9, as well as the expiration date of Aug. 3, 2025. You must reverify these employees on Form I-9 before they start work on Aug. 4, 2025.
USCIS will not provide updated EADs with the amended Aug. 3, 2025, expiration date. You must correct previously completed Forms I-9 for each employee that previously presented an EAD with a Card Expires date of Feb. 3, 2026, to include the amended expiration date of Aug. 3, 2025. In Section 2 of the employee’s Form I-9, enter the amended Aug. 3, 2025, expiration date in the Additional Information field, and initial and date the correction. You must reverify these employees before they start work on Aug. 4, 2025.
