WASHINGTON—Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson has extended Sudan’s designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for an additional 18 months due to the ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in Sudan that prevent its nationals from safely returning. The extended designation is effective May 3, 2016, through November 2, 2017.
USCIS has published an update to Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. The new edition is dated 11/04/15. (Previous editions dated 02/13/15, 05/27/08 or later, also accepted.)
I-9 Central – the resource center for everything related to Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification – has these new features:
If you are an El Salvador Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiary who requested a new work permit, and your request has been pending 90 days or more, USCIS will automatically issue you a 180-day Employment Authorization Document (EAD).
USCIS has published information to help eligible H-4 dependent spouses who want to apply for employment authorization under the Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses final rule.
