TPS Designation Extended for Sudan
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Sudan for an additional 18 months, from May 3, 2016, through November 2, 2017. The 18-month extension also allows TPS re-registrants to apply for a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD) in accordance with the notice published.
Further details on this extension of Sudan for TPS may be found in the Federal Register notice. Additional information on TPS for Sudan—including guidance on eligibility, the application process and where to file— is available at Temporary Protected Status. Employers verifying or reverifying the employment eligibility of employees who are TPS beneficiaries from Sudan should refer to the Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure page on I-9 Central.
