The Department of Homeland Security recently announced that it will extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela for eighteen months. TPS for Venezuela is currently set to expire on March 10, 2024. Based on an advanced copy of the Federal Register Notice, the re-designation will extend TPS for Venezuela to April 2, 2025. The U.S. Citizenship And Immigration Services (USCIS) will also automatically extend the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) of Venezuelan nationals through March 10, 2025. To qualify for the automatic extension, the individual must currently hold an EAD with the notation A-12 or C-19 under “Category” and the EAD card must expire on March 10, 2024 or September 9, 2022. The employee must also re-register for TPS but the employer may not ask for proof that the employee re-registered for TPS or proof of the employee’s Venezuelan citizenship.
