News Item Date:

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas extended and redesignated Somalia for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from Sept. 18, 2024, through March 17, 2026. Nationals of Somalia and individuals with no nationality who last habitually resided in Somalia may submit an initial registration application under the redesignation of Somalia for TPS and apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Current beneficiaries who want to maintain their status must re-register and may apply for new EADs.

Given the time frames for processing TPS re-registration and EAD renewal applications, USCIS has automatically extended through Sept. 17, 2025, the validity of EADs with a Card Expires date of Sept. 17, 2024, or March 17, 2023, issued under the TPS designation for Somalia.

Enter the EAD document number you entered on Form I-9, as well as the automatically extended date of Sept. 17, 2025. You must reverify these employees on Form I-9 before they start work on Sept. 18, 2025.
