Venezuela TPS extension vacated
The Department of Homeland Security vacated the January 10, 2025 decision that extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela. Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries will not receive the planned extension through October 2, 2026. The vacatur is effective immediately.
Employment authorization extensions revoked
The January 10, 2025 decision had extended certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) tied to Venezuela TPS. DHS has vacated that decision immediately, so the EAD extensions that were to accompany the TPS extension through October 2, 2026 are also vacated.
Consolidated TPS filing undone
The January 10, 2025 decision allowed a consolidation of filing processes so eligible Venezuela TPS beneficiaries from the 2021 and 2023 designations could obtain TPS through the same October 2, 2026 extension date. DHS vacated that decision immediately, undoing the consolidated filing arrangement.
