Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas rescinded the termination of the designation of Nepal for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and extended TPS for Nepal for 18 months, from Dec. 25, 2023, through June 24, 2025.
DHS previously extended through June 30, 2024, the validity of certain TPS-related Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued under Nepal’s ongoing TPS designation. See the November 2022 Federal Register notice for more details.
Creating an E-Verify Case
Once 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 EAD expiration date of June 24, 2025. You must reverify these employees on Form I-9 before they start work on June 25, 2025.
Find more details about this extension on the TPS Nepal page and instructions for completing Form I-9 on the I-9 Central TPS page.
