When to File for TPS
If you currently have TPS for Honduras and would like to keep your TPS, you must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period that runs from Dec. 15, 2017, through Feb. 13, 2018. We encourage you to register as soon as possible after the 60-day re-registration opens.
Automatic Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension
USCIS will issue EADs with a July 5, 2018, expiration date to eligible Honduran TPS beneficiaries who timely re-register and apply for EADs under this extension in accordance with the TPS Honduras Federal Register notice. Given the timeframes involved with processing TPS re-registration applications, DHS recognizes that not all re-registrants will receive new EADs before their current EADs expire on Jan. 5, 2018. Accordingly, through this notice, DHS automatically extends the validity of EADs issued under the TPS designation of Honduras for 180 days, through July 4, 2018. We encourage TPS beneficiaries to file their EAD applications as early as possible during the 60-day re-registration period to avoid lapses in documentation of employment authorization.
New Employment Authorization Document
If USCIS approves your TPS re-registration application and you properly filed an application and paid the fee for a new EAD (or USCIS approved your fee-waiver request), you will be issued a new EAD with the expiration date of July 5, 2018.
