Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas extended and redesignated Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months, from Oct. 20, 2023, through April 19, 2025. Current beneficiaries who want to maintain their status must re-register from Aug. 21, 2023, through Oct. 20, 2023. Ukrainian nationals and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Ukraine may submit an initial registration application under the redesignation for TPS for Ukraine and apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD).
Given the time frames for processing TPS re-registration applications, USCIS has automatically extended through Oct. 19, 2024, the validity of certain EADs issued under the TPS designation for Ukraine.
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 automatically extended date of Oct. 19, 2024. You must reverify these employees on Form I-9 before they start work on Oct. 20, 2024.
Find more details about this extension and redesignation on the TPS designation for Ukraine page and instructions for completing Form I-9 on the I-9 Central TPS page.
